    I like the use of the word 'slay'. It must be hard to come up with alternatives to the word kill after a while but they've come up trumps with that one.

    I'm a fan of 'exterminate', personally.

    I would've NEVER reacted like that when I was a Muslims.... and a lot of my Muslims friends won't either (well, I'm sure some actually would... but not most).

    I think that the Muslim world need to get some perspective into their lives. There are far more things that they can protest for..... although I understand that depicting the Prophet Muhammad is a major sin in Islam, but it shouldn't be THAT major!

    ^ They featured in Danish, French, Dutch, Italian, German, Spanish... and now New Zealand newspapers.

    Denmark started it off though.

    Question. One sign reads "Europe you will pay Bin Laden is way" I don't understand. I really dont think "is" belongs in that sentence. And beheading? Ouch :(

    The following words were also used.......

    BUTCHER
    BEHEAD
    MASSACRE
    EXTERMINATE

    I think they mean business.

    I think they meant 's rather than is.

    And I doubt beheading is especially painful tbh.

    So, not actually in British papers? If they don't like it, they can fuck off to those countries and kick off there. Dickheads.

    sounds like the department for farms and rural affairs during the foot and mouth crisis

    you also shouldnt be allowed to use the word exterminate, unless you are one of these guys

    on a serious note, yes i think everyone is or should at least be entitled to free speech, though you have to deal with the consequences if you are an editor who is big enough of a ****end to do something thats obviously going incite islamic supporters to want to kill/mame/destroy you

    if he's pissed off the womens institute then i would have thought fair enough, cause they aint all that bad, but he didnt, and tis his problem to have to deal with it
