#1 Obviously apologies don't work so there is no reason to ever give one again.

#2 This looks like the fake Danish apology that appeared in the Saudi press.

#3 Good. Nothing should be made to serve in quelling this irrational and hyper-reactive Muslim sensitivity to what the rest of the world views as a good laugh. Islam can screw, blue and tatto itself before I'll ever apologize for making fun of it.

#4 Why would anyone expect a Danish apology to quell Muslim anger? The Danish cartoons are clearly just a pathetic excuse to riot. Is there anyone in the world who truly believes that burning down a MacDonalds in Pakistan or storming a U.S. embassy in Indonesia or killing a bunch of rioters in Afghanistan or Nigeria -- all in February -- has any true basis in 12 cartoons published in Denmark in September?

The whole affair simply lends credence to the implication of the bomb-in-the-turban cartoon.

#5 Hey, Ott's right: It's the Sixth Pillar, now.

No point in applying logic to it. It is written 'n everything.

#6 Danish apology fails to quell Muslim anger

Anyone stupid enough to riot over political satire isn't likely to be mollified by apologies.

#7 Didn't Binny say that if G W Bush would convert he'll be forgiven?

It's submission they want but what they'll finally be getting is a giant fan all the quicker where their true stuff will hit.

#8 The proper response is to run 'Part II' containing the next twelve cartoons.
