Good round-up of what is going in the continuing trouble over the Danish Mohammed Cartoons. The Islamic loons are threatening violence naturally. But its nice to see that Hungary has come out in support of the Danes.
Here is one of them…
for the rest go here.
While I eat my Danish salami I am reading an defence of the cartoonists by Stephen Pollard.
An editor tries to support free speech and gets fired: guess where? Its France, naturally.
One B Preston has written a piece on the subject.
And several Norwegian bloggers have written about this situation.

I was reading about the editor of the French newspaper, France Soir, who was sacked after printing these cartoons. I just discovered, on Wikipedia.com, that the paper was founded as an underground paper in 1944 (presumably in oppostition to Nazi fascism, and the current owner, a Ramy Lakah turns out to be an Egyptian multimillionaire!
Assuming this is true,I guess it clears up the motivations of the papers owner. Freedom of speech takes second place to Islam. I hope the French people are aware of this huge conflict of interest!
