What did Rice do? She said that Iran was fanning the flames of cartoon rage. Rice should apologize, says Hamid Reza Asefi, admirably impervious to self-examination, for such comments only enflame cartoon rage. Just like depicting Muhammad as violent evidently so enrages Muslims that they become...violent. "Update 8: Iran Rejects Charge of Inflaming Violence," from AP, with thanks to Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi:
Iran on Sunday rejected U.S. and Danish accusations that the government had inflamed and encouraged last week's violent protests against Western embassies in Tehran over caricatures of Islam's Prophet Muhammad and demanded an apology.Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi singled out comments by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and said Denmark should apologize to help calm the furor that has erupted over the images that first appeared in a Danish newspaper four months ago.
"What happened was a natural reaction. Rice and Danish officials should apologize. Such comments could worsen the situation and an apology could alleviate the tension," Asefi said.
Of course this will happen after the apology the west recieves for the Madrid, London bombings, and September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center here in the United States. And the apology for the many Muslims that danced in the streets after the attacks. Not a moment sooner.
Well I don't know why condi should apologise.
However I do think that a bit of political monouvering on the part of Danes should be done.
I propose a marriage of a Danish Prince/Princess to a Saudi Prince/princess as a way of smoothing over the cartoon row.
All will be settled with this "alliance".
Dear violent formentors of Jihad and the one or so moderate Muslim:
We wish to appologize for any pain that may have resulted from your irrational reaction to some poorly drawn cartoons. Based on our past interactions we should have known that this would cause you great angst. We truly are very sorry that you are so violent and irrational. Feel free to use democratic rights of free speech in our countries to express your grievences, I am sure you would extend the same courtesy to our citizens in your countries. We would appreciate your prompt cancelation of all death threats and death bounties.
Sincerely,
Dhimmi Rice and all democratic countries everywhere
Why not Fidel, of Hugo, or whatever-is-his-name from Zimbabwe?
Not to mention here 6 more billion fair guys from this planet who should apogogize every day at noon time looking in Mekkah direction.

Priceless. Don't ever change.
From the muslim viewpoint, it seems, the point of apologies, and demands for apologies, concerning the cartoon controversy, is for kufr to demonstrate subservience (grovelling dhimmitude). The actual particular "misbehavior" is not as important as the demonstrations of dominance and subservience, by and to islam.
Although not tremendously common, images of the historical figure known as mohammed have been made by muslims, and these images are not an issue in the current worldwide riots. The zombietime images of mohammed archive deomonstrates this. Particularly interesting for their persian origin are images from Jami Al-Tawarikh ("The Universal History" written by Rashid Al-Din), a manuscript in the Library of the University of Edinburgh; illustrated in Tabriz, Persia, c. 1315.
Sure let's all apologise then the Mooselimbs can rebuild all the embassies they burned down...then rebuild the Twin Towers and give monitary retributions to all the innocent people they have murdered in the name of Allah...
Their false God to go along with their false molesting prophet. Time for a few mushrooms in the name of Allah.
When the nukes are dropped on Iran, I hope all western infidels remember to go out and dance in the streets.
"I propose a marriage of a Danish Prince/Princess to a Saudi Prince/princess as a way of smoothing over the cartoon row."
I don't think that would be a good idea. Those Saudi genes would make for some very un-attractive offspring, and that is something nobody wants to see.
Rice and Danish?
Sounds like a bad Iranian restaurant.
(A fal-awful joke, I admit.)
The only apology necessary is: (to Iran and Islam)
We're sorry you're crazy.

One Saudi 'princess?'
Deal! Make that four in line with your customs! Now lets talk about how many camels and goats will it cost me?
Prince of Denmark

The Danish prince Joakim is free on the weddingmarket, so if you have an arab princess available, I'm all in favor. The prince is, however, a bit of a playboy, last year he divorced his wife, a chinese woman. It seems he likes exotic women, so maybe a saudi princess would be just the thing for him?
Joakim is a persian name by the way, so he already has some symbolic connection to the Gulf area... :)
