MSNBC The magazine ran editorial in which they denounced the cartoons, and ran some of them with giant Xs through them (so the prophet's image was not visible). The next day he was arrested and now sits awaiting a possible death sentence.

That's awful. (btw, Bob, you might want to check the link - doesn't appear to be working at the moment)

Ugh... freaking primitives. The Muslim world insults the West, Christians, and Jews all the time. Seems they can't take their own medicine.

Sadly, I wouldn't have expected any less. When will we outgrow this?

Wow... How revolting. This type of story makes me sick. (Btw, Bob, not to derail your thread, but I believe it's "Yemenite," not "Yemeni"...)

Really? Interesting. Maybe it's only Yemenite in my part of the world...

This thing is totally kind of revealing the madness that's going on over there in many people's minds- for whatever reason. More Crazy News I think the irony of this story is extreme and very, very sad.
