    Translation from diplomatese: freedom of expression should not be construed as the freedom to offend.

    It would bring me so much happiness and hope if the Swedish government recalled their diplomats and sent the Muslim diplomats packing.

    Well, I want the Muslim countries to change their laws so that women don't have to wear that god-awful excuse of a external wear when out in public.

    Oh, and since I'm a Westerner and a Christian, I want to wear my cross and read my Bible while in said country without fear of imprisonment.

    Think they'll change their laws?








    That's what I thought

    They didn't exactly tell the Muslims to kiss their collective asses when they first protested about the parody, now did they?

    If the Swedes had any testicular fortitude they would have sent the muslim ambassadors packing with their tales between their legs while they were followed by the sounds of derisive laughter.

    And since when does a religion get to have its own ambassadors? Where are the christian, hindu and taoist ambassadors?

    Islam is growing bolder in the face of weakness. If they aren't forced to back down soon their boldness may cause even more problems.

    In other words, STOP APPEASING THESE FUCKERS!!!

    Well, that's simple enough. Just repeal the holocaust denial laws, then say "See? Now you DO have the same protection!"

    When did the Swedes go from being Vikings that would have cut these camel jockeys' heads off for shits and giggles to being pussified enough that they didn't just tell these towelheads to just fuck right off to whatever shithole they came from? When exactly did Scandavia quit being badasses?

    Do I have to do everything?

    I never saw the government response there saying that newspapers shouldn't publish that stuff, do you have a link?

    The only government quote in that original quote seems to be this.

    DO ANY OF YOU IDIOTS EVEN READ THE ARTICLES ANYMORE? THE ONLY GOVERNMENT QUOTE IS IN DEFENCE OF PEOPLE TO HAVE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.

    Goddamn, some of you are so blinded with your "lol Muslims control Europe" jokes/beliefs that you are willing to take anything as proof when it's actually totally counter to what you are arguing.

    When they started marketing Swedish Fish in a variety of colors and flavors. It was all downhill from there.

    I had some of those the other day. (Seriously.) And it pissed me off, because the red ones were to only ones worth eating, and then I had this big bag of yellows and greens that nobody wanted.

    And yet the thread title refers more to the tone and expectations of the "ambassadors" not a OMG Eurabia Part IX.
