Today I'm not talking about anything related to bikes. I'm all in a tizzy about The Great Danish Cartoon Fiasco. This whole thing is getting way out of hand. Here's the timeline:
Danish cartoonist draws a frame of a dude with a turban, a bomb and the word Mohammed written on him.
Muslims get pissed.
Everybody freaks out.
An Israeli newspaper reprints the cartoon in an article explaining the outrage.
An Arab newspaper reacts, creating a contest calling for reader submissions of offensive anti-jew holocaust comics.
The same Israeli newspaper reacts to the reaction, calling for ITS readers to send in thier own offensive anti-jew holocaust comics, saying (I'm paraphrasing but I swear I'm not making this up) "when it comes to jew-bashing, no one will beat us at our own game."
Today (from opb.org) "In the northwestern Pakistani city of Peshawar, cleric Maulana Yousef Qureshi said he had personally offered to pay a bounty of 500,000 rupees ($8,400) to anyone who killed a Danish cartoonist, and two of his congregation put up additional rewards of $1 million and one million rupees plus a car."
Holy crap. Over million bucks plus a car for the assasination of a cartoonist? Are you kidding? Is this for real? Are we that evil? WTF?

There's no logic. There's no answer. Have another cookie and stay out of the line of fire.
