Indeed, "Danish" != "Dutch".

A second drawing shows a bearded man wearing a turban next to a plus sign and a bomb that equals a nuclear mushroom cloud.

Oh yeah, that's a good one. You win this round, Demark.

Yes, well, I thought it said "Offensive Duck Cartoons" and I was so excited for a minute.

Does it really surprise anyone that members of a right-wing group would do something like this?

This whole Mohammed thing is getting really old. A bunch of fucks gets pissed off at another bunch of fucks for drawing cartoons. Big deal.

dhimmi = term used by Muslims back in the day to refer to non-muslims. The term tends to have connotations of second-class status i.e. being forced to wear distinctive clothing, being forced to pay the jiyza or poll tax, being socially excluded in a number of ways . . .

So the term is used by the right wing to describe politicians or institutions they consider insufficiently assertive towards Muslims or what they perceive as Muslim demands.

"Dutch?" "Stockholm"? I normally despise this sort of offtopic nitpickery but puhleeze, get your very, very basic geographical facts straight. It's such a cliche both to make this common mistake and to compliment about but I mean, jesus.

I understand though. Wales is in England, no? New York is the capital of New York, amirite? Surely Kiev is in Russia? Maps are hard to come by? Saddam had nukes?


....



Does anyone here speak Belgian?

Seriously, SAFMJC, if you can get a hold of jessamyn, she will probably and hopefully be kind enough to correct the error. Not only will that please certain linguistic grudge-bearing European readers; more importantly, it will benefit the comprehensibility of the post.
