Country:  | Well Botswana showed the South African Govermant a thing or two when it comes to pilots, I wish I lived their instead of South Africa. I love my country but not the way it is now. Botswana is the best country to live in Africa.
We do have very nice aircraft in our museums but wish we had more.

Henk | Henk there are no operational Me-262s left, except for the ones being built by Stormbirds today.
If you mean Me-262s that are complete and sitting in Museums then there are many. There is one at the Smithsonian in Washington DC, there is one at the Deutsches Museum in Germany, and there is one at the Sinsheim Museum to name a few.

My father has gone over this numerous tiimes with both me and my brother, and i agree with him; It is only the islamic Extremeists that are hell-bent on anything! There are a lot of Islamists and Muslims living in australia and, in a way, i feel very sorry for them. Especially after the Cronulla Riots. I despise any form of racism, and that includes that shown at the start of the thread. True, the Muslims shoudn't be Protesting, but the danish Papers shouldn't have published those cartoons, simple as that.
That's my opinion...

That's my opinion... | The freedom of the press should never be abridged because it offends some religion.
If youre confident and comfortable about whatever god you pray to, you ignore the insults.
Obviously theres quite a few muslims that are more than happy to insult other religions, but are quick to take offense when its thrown in their faces.

Country: | I do not mind if they protest, but the way they do it and the things they say is not the way propper people behave. If the Muslems are such great people why don't they start to behave like nice and peace loving people like they say they are then peolple will not be saying the things they are saying now. If someone said something about my religion I would not do the things they are doing now.
So no there are no excuse to do the things the Muslems are doing now and there will never be one.

Country: | There is more to that story than what is shown at face value. The original 12 cartoons were printed back in August in Denmark in a fairly obscure newspaper. It wasn't until recently that it became a big issue. There were 3 more added to the list that were either forged (pig snout picture from a hog calling contest) or never printed at all!
Did you notice how fast the news showed people in the Middle East burning Danish flags? How many Danish flags could have actually been in the Middle East before this began?!
You might want to take a look at these linsk to get more of the story. The US media has been really lacking in info on this story. http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2...tml#1139559700 http://michellemalkin.com/archives/004530.htm

Country: | I agree. There is protest, and there is vandalism/looting/rioting. It seems to me that this was semi-planned by a couple of imams to start something. Why, I don't know. But suddenly now they are saying that the US is somehow involved.

Country: | Yes, someone is behind this to make something realy bad happen and it can turn either to the good side or the bad.
I just hope it can be solved without something bad happening.

You do no know how many muslim demonstrations I have seen over the years protesting Christianity and insulting Jesus because it is not there religion. All of this before the cartoon issue.
The Muslims need to learn that they are not the only people on this planet and that they are not gods gifts to the ****ing world!
