*sad smile* This tiny magazine in Norway was stupid enough to reprint the charicatures over here as well. So they have burnt our embassy in Damaskus too >_<

That's really terrible. x_x This shouldn't be happening.

I know >_< Our minister of foreign affairs has clearly said that this is very regrettable, and not something the state supports, but at the same time he cannot really say that he believe it is illegal...because of the freedom of speech. *sighs* I do understand the offence muslims must feel ~ but to actually burn places and let all the anger be turned on a whole country instead of the actual person in question...that is terrible. At the same time, I keep asking myself if that is not something the west does with the east sometimes too. *sighs* Sometimes the world is screwed up...

Yeeeah. It's impossible to stop it, really, but it's incredibly sad that it has to happen. That's the way humans are, sadly.

Uhm...don't get me started on this topic, Sullivan and I spent a good chunk of Saturday night ranting/bitching about it.

I'm all for free speech, and I'm not saying that folks should be blowing up embassies, but it's pretty much an asshole move to go out of one's way to offend other peoples' religious sensibilities.
