Is someone going to tell these nutters its the year 2006 not 2006BC.
Just how backwards are these people?

No doubt there will be some to55ers over hear ranting the same and demonstrating waving banners to hang us all.

Anyone remember the bounty for Salman Rushdie too?

Its a bit pathetic really, some idiot representing some of the more outraged muslims on sky news the other week was telling us how the cartoonist should face death for his actions. How he can say such thing and be convinced he was in the 'right' is disturbing to say the least.

Look at what happened to that Van Gogh bloke too

It's flavour of the month to bait the Muslims. They do bite back though... so I would imagine, rughtly or wrongly, that the cartoonist is staying away from open spaces at the moment. He really should have thought a bit more about it if he didnt want to face this kind of heat.

Thugs of any description will be out to bag a hapless cartoonist in the name of some silly martyrdom.

Who is paying the Bounty? They should be charged with inciting murder, or accomplice to murder, or something like that, in the same way someone hiring a hitman would be charged.

Which of the cartoonists do they want?

I've seen the collection and can only see offence in one (the 'bomb').

Smashing logic at work again.....the prophet decreed that images of himself were not to be made to prevent idolatry.
Only the most dimwitted would worship a picture.

Ah, I see the problem

This really is ridiculous. I was born into a Catholic family and we all still make jokes about nuns, priests etc!

Oh deary me, I don't know what to think anymore.

Obviously the guy shouldn't have drawn such offensive images, but for moderate, as well as, extremist Muslims to take such offence is just ridiculous and damaging to Islam. This is one of the World's greatest religions, and it wants to sentence a man to death over an idiotic cartoon, and condemn a whole country because that's where he's chosen to reside?

I would urge all Muslims, and I've said this to my friends who've been attempting to blockade Danish produce (I mean WTF?), to overlook the idiot and concentrate on rebuilding the reputation of Islam in the West.

However I must say, should anyone touch the cartoonist, they themselves should expect a ransome on their head. The West is build on democracy and free speech and I will defend that at all costs.

No, nor are Christians, Jews, Hindus, or Buddhists.

Perhaps I should have said 'he should have acted more responsibly', he's free to do what he wants. I was trying to describe it with the benefit of hindsight, but hey, i'm pretty sure he couldn't have foreseen such a pathetic reaction!

These "fatwas" should be unequivocally condemned by the UN and declared illegal under international law.

This kind of incitement to murder those who don't agree with your religious doctrine is utterly unnaceptable.

From the BBC news....

A minister in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, Haji Yaqub, announces a $11m reward for anyone who beheads the cartoonist who drew the images of Muhammad.

Peshawar cleric Maulana Yousaf Qureshi offers 7.5m rupees ($125,000) and a car to anyone who kills the cartoonist. The reward is later reportedly raised to $1m
