Stupid IS as stupid does.
Danish newspapers have signed the death warrants of an as-yet undetermined number of innocent people--again--by reprinting a number of offensive Muhammed cartoons.
This was in response to an extremist plot to murder the cartoonist who drew the cartoons originally. After a number of Western newspapers printed the cartoons, violent protests broke out in January and February 2006 across the Muslim world. Western embassies and Christian churches were set afire, and one hundred people were murdered during the riots.
How many people are going to die this time, once the riots are kicked into high gear again? These newspapers know full well what's going to happen, but they did it anyways, in the name of free speech. And newspapers across Europe are preparing to follow suit.
The protests have already begun; there have been protests in the Danish capitol, in the Gaza Strip, and in unstable Pakistan. Once they get printed again in more papers, the protests will spread.
STUPID!!
