I think the outrage over these cartoons is totally dumb, on both sides of the fence. Its sensationalist, opportunistic, petty and childish.
It makes the Nation of Islam look bad, but it makes the West look bad too. I think it would be best if we just tried to laugh at this situation instead of allowing fundamentalist whackos to assign it any real significance.

So you think that apologizing to the muslim world for a bunch of cartoons is making Europe look good? You've got an interesting spin.
I'll admit that writing "Nation of Islam" was a goof, but you're sarcasm is really annoying and is actually pretty indicative of the childishness I was talking about.

I sense a little sarcasm in your post as well, but I'm not annoyed. 
and I certainly didnt think you meant "apologizing" by equating the muslims and non-muslims actions as equally bad. Obviously my sarcasm was referring to the fact that only the muslims are destroying and rioting, not the cartoon makers/publishers. My statement had nothing to do with apologizing. You are spinning my sentences.
I certainly wouldn't equate the outrage expressed by the muslims (riots) to the "outrage" expressed by non-muslim euros (apologizing). Sure apologizing makes europe look bad, but in my opinion europe is weak, so im not surprised. Acting weak and rioting over are cartoon are certainly not equatable.

the fact is that in lets say Iran , statoil (Norway larges oil company) has invested billions after billions and Norway loose large amounts of money on these riots. Norway has no recent history of being a war mongering country, we are all about making peace and oil cash. We think very different than people in USA about certain things, even tho our lifestyle is somewhat similar. We are a nation of 4.5 millions and we are outside of EU, we stand alone. when it comes to using military force , we may be weak without USA and NATO we are pretty easy to invade. USA is more used to stuff like this and this is the first time in my lifetime I have seen Norwegian flags burn and so many people angry at us. US has seen this many times. And all of this over a cartoon. We should focus on more important issues now and build up our relation to many middle east countries again, not because we likes them so much after this but business is business and should run as usual. No I'm not proud to be Norwegian today after this apology, deep deep down I have some viking blood screaming that this is wrong. But fuck it, they are willing to die over this cause, so lets smoke a peace hookah with them, that being said, I have lost alot of respect for these nations and for Islam. . Sorry my rambling , im drunk and stoned. But a sad day and its time for some serious evaluation of what has happened. .
peace
