I cannot see and end to this conflict. I don't think Denmark should
apologise to a group of people whose values are not only different, but are
often opposite to those of the Western Civilization. Like I wrote on another
thread dealing with this issue, the cartoons were drawn by a Dane living in
Denmark, in a Danish newspaper. Had they been done by the Dane in a Muslim
newspaper in an Islamic country, the issue would be entirely different. If
the Muslims in Denmark truly believe that they are being treated so badly by
the Danes, nothing is stopping them from leaving the country to settle in
their paradise land in the Middle East.
The boycotting of Danish goods in the Middle East had given rise to a
surge in sales of Danish goods in the United States, where people are simply
sick and tired of Muslims dictating what people in the West should and
should not do.
