#1 Of course he doesn't want the press involved. His intent is to intimidate, not to debate.

#4 I think a lot of muslims just don't understand that the majority of people on this planet are not muslim, are not about to become muslim and could care less about Mohammed, Islam or the Koran.

Given a choice between the Koran or the works of William Shakespeare remaining, most people would choose the old bard.

#5 Oh, I think Muslims understand this preaty well John---they just don't believe "most of the people" are willing to do something about it.

#8 "Moderate" muslims over the centuries have ignored half of the literal Koran anyway, it's their tradition.

#9 I think he should apologize to everybody not just Islamists. This statement is really offensive, "half of the Koran should be torn and thrown away".

Only HALF, WTF?

#10 If the Dutch government doesn't expel the Saudi ambassador, and cut off all diplomatic relations with that nest of parasites, what will the Saudis demand next? that all Christian churches be torn down or converted to Mosques? that Jews be delivered to Moslem countries?

#11 The Saudi Ambassador should immediately be declared persona non grata with 48 hours to leave the country; following that, the Dutch Ambassador in KSA should be immediately recalled for "consultations." Message to Magic Kingdom: keep your damned nose out of our domestic affairs.
