"We here in Kuwait curse Christians in many of our mosques, should those (Christian) countries boycott Kuwait?"

Thats a voice of reason?

Denmark will lose it's diplomatic ties with Kuwait. And this is a problem for Denmark, how?

Posted by: Isabellathecrusader at November 8, 2006 6:12 AM

Well when you are looking for a needle in haystack, perhaps that is as close to a voice of reason that you could get.

Perhaps if we are lucky Kuwait will cut diplomatic ties with the rest of the West. I am hoping, with little faith that all the EU sever ties with Kuwait if they carry out that stupid threat. Will the paper tiger show one of its paper claws, lol.

Pity we could not turn the clock back to the early morning hours of August 2, 1990,when hundreds of Iraqi tanks rumbled across the usually peaceful desert sands of northern Kuwait. Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had ordered his forces to invade the tiny Arab emirate on his southern border HMMMM

Arabs' oxygen for survival is commuting in cars recklessly and aimlessly. Cars are manufactured by Infidels. Take them back. No more cars. Would make them recant pronto about "severing ties".

>>>"We here in Kuwait curse Christians in many of our mosques>>>

Is that all? Even while honouring Bush as "liberator" were spewing venom against the Americans in private. Dissembling and ingratitude...part of their vicious traits.

Posted by: Crows&Cows at November 8, 2006 7:06 AM

lol, Denmark is better off without Kuwait anyway.

Posted by: EliasAlucard at November 8, 2006 7:20 AM

oh my what will Denmark now do? can Kuwait cut off more ties to other Wenstern countries, maybe this could be a trend. we now cannot count on any Western countries to have balls to deal with muslim counries. Rush is right cannot depend on govenment for squat..

See, this is what pisses me off. It's okay for them to curse us all they want, but slightest criticism from a Christian, be it the Pope or someone living in a muslim country, and all Hell breaks loose. Hypocrisy is kosher when it comes Islam.

Oh and I forgot:

"We here in Kuwait curse Christians in many of our mosques, should those (Christian) countries boycott Kuwait?" he said.

Yes, the entire world should boycott Kuwait. Not only Kuwait, but also Saudiarabia, Iran, Turkey, Syria, and lots of other countries which support terrorists and want to strangle freedom of speech.

As for Kuwait boycotting Denmark, good riddance I say. They're only doing Denmark a favour.

Posted by: EliasAlucard at November 8, 2006 7:47 AM

is this the same kuwait that killed and improsioned loads of palestinians after saddam was booted out? did it not also expel hundreds of thousands more?

I wonder why palestinians don't hate kuwait more than isreal???

Anyhow, I suppose if Denmark kills loads of moslems for siding with terrorism and imprisions a load more and expels the rest then Kuwait will respect Denmark for acting in a kindred spirit???

What are you waiting for Denmark? Go get some respect by behaving like an Islamic country...

Posted by: exposesithlords at November 8, 2006 8:01 AM

How will the Danish government sleep knowing that Kuwait wants to break off relations? Maybe Denmark should respond by declaring war-they probably would mop up the desert with Kuwait's worthless army in short order. History will then call it "The Great Cartoon War".

Seriously, Denmark should tell Kuwait to kiss its fanny and come up with even more cartoons.

Posted by: ISLAMSFORLOSERS at November 8, 2006 8:47 AM

This is Kuwait.

Plucky little Kuwait, brave little Kuwait, Kuwait the Soft, Kuwait the Victim, Kuwait the So-Much-More-Moderate-Than-Saudi-Arabia, brave little plucky little Kuwait saved by its age-old friends the Americans who came in in 1991 from the rapaciousness of Saddam Hussein, and in so doing earned gratitude so eternal it lasted as long as it took the first President Bush to come and collect, when out of office, a million dollar speaker's fee, and a few other well-placed Americans (was Clinton one of them? James Baker? I forget.) to pocket similar sums for a half-day's work, and that must have been at least 3-4 years.

But Kuwait, not the Kuwait represented by a handful of members of this or that family (Fouad Ajami visiting them from time to time) that sends its children to the American School of Kuwait, but all the other Kuwaitis, revered to type, to the type of all societies and peoples suffused with Islam. Policies made for this or that Muslim state based on the smiling representatives who know just what to say to the eternally gullible or wilfully gullible Americans, are bound to be the wrong policies. "Experts" on the Middle East who solemnly read tea-leaves and pontificate -- including those advisinig James Baker Commission which will at best give Bush the Obstinate a face-saving (for him, for the face of his administration is the only face he cares about saving) like to avoid altogether the subject of Islam, as if it is just an afterthought, or a general worry for the "good guys" in places like plucky little, brave little, Kuwait (or Qatar, or Jordan, or true-blue Egypt).

It is Islam, Islam, Islam that explains the deep and un-uprootable attitudes of Muslim peoples, that offers not only tenets which many of them believe they must scrupulously fulfull, others believe that it is enough if they support those others who believe they must scrupulously fulfill them, and still others do neither but do nothing to stop the first two groups, and everything to pretend, to Infidels, that the first two groups are "extremists" without any organic connection to Islam, and in any case, the natural attitudes of hostility, demonstrated in this case of cutting diplomatic relations with Denmark, hysterical hostility at a country for continuing to think and act as if its own system of individual rights -- including the most important, the right of free speech -- is an outrage, ultragium, that must be jettisoned or the country punished in order to stand up for Islam, Islam, Islam.

Islam is not only its tenets, to be cited by Qur'anic sura and ayat, nor the specific contents of this or that or five hundred other Hadith. Nor is it only the figure of Muhammad, and the precise and disturbing, or rather horrifying, details of his life.

No, Islam is also the attitudes that naturally arise from this welter of Qur'anic passages, and Hadith stories, and the life of Muhammad, the Perfect Man, the man to be emulated in all respects, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil. And those attitudes are on display in Kuwait when it votes to cut off diplomatic relations with Denmark.

Kuwait, tiny little, plucky little, brave little Kuwait -- that's the story we were all told in 1991, and that's the story we are suppposed to keep believing, as we set up in our minds a little drama, in which over here are the "bad" or "extremist" Muslim countries, and over there the "good" ones that we must listen to. It's nonsense. The "good" Muslim countries are those which, like Turkey or Tunisia, have managed to constrain or limit or tie down Islam as a political or social force. And they are "good" only to the extent, and precisely to the extent, that they have managed to do so.

No, Kuwait is not a "tiny little" and "plucky little" and "brave little" country, the country that having been saved by American soldiers would never, ever forget (now that Saddam Hussein is gone, the Kuwaitis don't need us quite in the same way, now do they?). It is one more malevolent Muslim country, that appears by an optical illusion -- its proximity to even more, incredibly hideous Saudi Arabia, to be "moderate."

Will the United States and the other Western powers now stand with Denmark, and make clear that if diplomatic relations with Denmark are cut, then diplomatic relations with Kuwait will be cut by all decent members of the West, of the Western alliance? Or will the United States, possibly now being pushed Baker-Commission like back into the clutches of the old pro-Sunni Arab policy (throw Israel to the wolves by renewing pressure on it, save the Sunnis of Iraq, and above all, heed what our "friends in the Gulf" have to tell us), do nothing to express solidarity with Denmark?

Denmark? Yes, remember that country?

That's the real country that deserves to put on those lendings in which Kuwait was permitted, so inaccurately, to bedeck itself. That's the country that has a right to call itself plucky little, brave little, decent little -- Denmark.

And Denmark is not alone. There is one other country, right in the same Middle East, that will be forever in the Western camp just as Kuwait will, as a Muslim country, be forever outside that camp. And that country, no matter how grotesquely it is reported on, no matter how much it is subject to a palpable want of sympathy and even deliberate vilification in the Western press, no matter how crudely or cruelly successive Western efforts aim at dealing with the problem of Islam by ignoring or minimizing them and pretending to believe that only if that country's vital interests are defined as non-vital and then betrayed, no matter how great a display of pusillanimity and meretriciousness on the part of larger Western powers that should be standing by it, for their own sake rightly understood, deserves those epithets "brave little" and "plucky little," and its still-unrecognized-by-Washington capital is Jerusalem.

Indeed. Wasting 50 million on some dude who died 1400 years ago is surely a waste of money.

Not that this changes much but Peninsula On-Line refers to this vote as a reaction over a video produced by the Danish People's Party.

Good grief, the Muslims are still having a fit about a bunch of 12 harmless cartoons that are simply good for a laugh response.

Posted by: bigcatgirl13106 at November 8, 2006 9:29 AM

As a token of the West (most the US) appreciation for this tiny golf state breaking diplomatic relations with Denmark, we should perhaps incite the renegade republican guards of the old Iraqy regime to invade Kuwait again, and will see what the Kuwaiti will do then. The invading army had almost wipe out the country out of the map. They humiliated them in person, raping their women and torturing their citizens and calling them in the radio prior to the invasion as fat cats petro dollars lazy do for nothing Bedouins. And we thought these were stereotypes of Arab Bedouins

How rapidly things change. Now they feel proud and pompous for a litte thing as a cartoon carried out by two daring Danes. Blame the whole country. What a misplaced idea! They should have then quit Islam after their liberation from the Iraqis and returned to their pantheist religion of their distant ancestors. They would have been truly free of their obscurantist tendencies.

Didn't the bird flu start in the middle east?

Maybe it was God's/ Mother Nature's / the Good Earth's way of taking care of the M.E. problem. Don't diseases come along to thin out populations? Especially those without good hygiene?

Sometimes we shouldn't mess with Mother Nature!

Not only should we sever ties with Kuwait and the rest of the uncivilized tribes of the ME, beginning with ending our dependence on oil, but the next step right after that should be severing ties with all religious states for human right violations.

Religiuous states just should not be allowed to persist.

Posted by: GreatShaitan at November 8, 2006 10:42 AM

1400 years from now (assuming Islam is still around-I fervently hope not) the Islamaniacs will still rant and rave about those cartoons. Just like they endlessly go on about the Crusades today. These idiots NEVER forget the slightest transgression to their cult and they certainly don't forgive them either. They really could use a good therapist to get over these things.
