The Mohamed cartoons are just the visible tip of a dangerous iceberg. They were artistically and humorously weak, unjustifiable, crass, insensitive and apparently very stupid. Free speech does not mean you can say what you like with impunity.
The reaction would have been well understood by the publishing paper. This was most likely a totally orchestrated event. Orchestrated not only as to the cause - the publishing - but also the effect - the protest - facilitated with equal advance planning through prior knowledge. Political agitators along with a foolish and impressionable rent-a-crowd - and the Lebanon, like anywhere, has it's quota of hotheads.
Flemming Rose, the JP cultural editor responsible for the offensive anti-Muslim cartoons, is a supporter of Neo-Con Daniel Pipes "clash of civilizations" .

So why would they do that? Well for one thing Denmark's troops have been suffering causalities in Iraq. I know their military contingent is only small in numbers but their very presence, and thereby support, is more important than troop numbers. Indeed recently it has been rumoured the Danish troops are to be withdrawn and meanwhile public support at home has been slipping further.

This series of events has made the Danish public (and many more across Europe) enraged. They realise the cartoons were ill advised but they are indignant at the disproportionate violence wreaked as a result. The effect is now that they are back on-side - this has been Denmark's 911 wake-up call - Yes ? Well I am sorry but no, not yet. I have a bad feeling there is more to come. Remember Spain was all for pulling out of Iraq before the 311 Madrid train bombs.
The wake-up call is to be directed at all of Europe as the US Neo-con Israeli Zionist collusion cannot hope to muster sufficient troops to follow-up the attack they would like to deal to Iran - bunker buster bombs on all major military and so-called nuclear research sites followed by a massive (European?) armed force of 'peace keepers'.
I have a particular theory that the date of September the 11th was not a random choice. 911 has a deep subliminal emotive trigger value to the people of the US - 911 is their emergency telephone number. This by my measure would not be the date of choice of terrorists, OK they would perhaps want a date that could be remembered but since they would not be in control of the media to reminded people of the event I think they would take a memorable date as being a small detail.
I believe 911 has connotations of fear, mortal peril and most of all is the moment one abdicates decision making responsibility to authority. That is not what terrorists want - they do not want people abdicating to authority, they want people to tell authority what to do; 'Stop the terrorists - do what they ask'.
But the term 911 has been the reveille for the people of the world despite it being of less subliminal significance to people from outside of the US. The Neo-com corporate media propaganda constantly references 911, using the term to frighten the US 'everyday folk' and keep them supporting the war.
Indeed 911 was referenced by '311' and less commonly realised 311 occured 911 days after Sept the 11th 2001 (911 days and 18 hours or so in fact).
The Bali ONE took place 999 days before the London 7/7 attack. (999 is the UK emergency number).
Bali TWO took place on 1/10 - ( 110 is the police telephone number in Bali).
So where does this lead me. Well I have considered that if the above conjecture is correct then when the time comes for Europe to be brought onside with the US / Zionist assault on Arab and Islamic nations. They will have to have a 911 of their own since London's 7/7 did not do the trick for them. So 11.2 is a very strong possibility since it offers a number and date of subliminal relevance across Europe, 112 is the pan-European emergency telephone number and of cause the 11th of February is written 11.2 in Europe.
I will not be taking a break in Copenhagen this weekend - just to be on the safe side - thank you very much.
How many fucking hobnobs will it take to get you to drop your persecution complex. Now make yourself comfy whilst i make you another cup of tea. It you kick your socks off I'm a dab hand at reflexology too.
