Denmark's economy is largely based on exporting Dairy products to the Muslim World and a simple boycott will bring them to their knees. The answer to this problem is not in going on the streets in various cities in the Muslim world and being shot at by our own police. The real battle is Economic. PERIOD!

Where are we heading? Everyday I look News at BBC site and each day I found stories like this related to Pakistan. Sample of Feb 14, 2006 News http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4711318.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4708004.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4708848.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4706902.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4704436.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4677904.stm Nothing productive nor a shade of improvement. I guess this is the Pakistan which Zia had envisioned. Illiterate Fanatics with no sense of religion or present day sensibility are running the masses. We are teaching nothing to our kids and instill too much hatred for westerners. The irony is just few months ago those westerners help the earthquake victims and due to them most are alive. Our Army couldn't even able to send a single helicopter to the site without Western help. If our Army is so bankrupt then one wonder what is the true situation of other departments? Very appropriate.

I think he's just saying that *in the minds of some who live "in the Middle East"*, the comics have confirmed a pre-existing belief that all the talk of "respect" by Western politicians is, well, empty words.

I thought Blair, for one, condemned the comics, and that the British press hadn't published the comics - how did you end up dragging Blair in? I've been reading your blog for a while now, and it's normally well-written and reasoned, am I missing a beat here?
