The only comforting news from that conference is that the young participants 25 from Denmark and 25 from the ME had a good time together. They had some good proposals also - like exchange visits, youth conferences and youth dialogues in summer camps.
Don't be angry, Jelsted. Save your adrenaline for something you can control.
It's always unpleasant the hear someone criticize your country.
The best thing to say about the heavily exposed conference was, that it was a platform for saying the unpleasant things in a forum, where both sides are together. It would be a disaster if no-one showed up. Now the anger could be expressed.
Mr Khaled seems not to know, that we already are a big spender of foreign aid.

So following his logic, he would find it fair, if we stopped foreign aid to a country, where there is a boycott.
Pakistan could be an example but in my opinion it would be very sad to hold the more unfortunate people hostage.
Q
How about requiring all protesting muslims to actually purchase a copy of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper and see the cartoons for themselves? Wouldn't change the closed minds of the retards, but would bring a mint to Jyllands-Posten.
“suggested that a continuing boycott of Danish goods in Arab countries could stop if Danes and their government reached out with initiatives like help for small businesses, or health care."" (NY Times)”
What the hell kind of comment is this? This logical thinking puts the cartoonists at a better opportunity for producing more of the comics! Just pay someone and your good to go…
"We request an official apology from your government to the Muslim nation as it happened in Norway," he said. He also demanded that the European Union enact a law "that forbids the insult to religious figures."
My my… Let’s see…. Do as we say… not as we do????

We have to admit, that the cartoons were printed in a danish newspaper. I didn't print them. You didn't print them. Maybe none of us approve printing them. Even the PM has said, he didn't like the cartoons and adressed in in his new years speech. He can't apologise for something he didn't do. That's oviously not the issue.
And the fact that the cartoons were printed in at least 143 newspaper in 53 countries is neglected and is obviously not important.
We export dairy products, which are easily replaced, with products from other countries, where newspapers printed the cartoons too. So the printing per se can't be the problem.
Back when it all started the issue was, that people in our community were angry or hurt or felt insulted and they wanted an apology from the newspaper. The newspaper has apologised for hurting religious feelings, so that is obviously not the issue anymore.
During the cartoon "war" decisions had to be made. Nobody denies that it must be investigated, but the right way to do it, must be found just a little later in my opinion. I'm not sure that we should have an investigation as long as many religious figures would be more than happy to help us. I think it's the citizens in Denmark, who should decide what was right and what was wrong and not a very angry cleric from Kuwait, demanding and expecting that the danish citizens replaces the government.
If we get more "help" from clerics from countries, where women are not included when it comes to human rights, the danish citizens are going to vote in even greater numbers on the right wing parties, than they do now. The thinly veiled threats he came with on national TV, were not wasted at least not on me. My initial reaction was to do exactly the opposite of what he demanded. I'm not that good with authorities.
I'm glad that we have oil, water, farm land and a strong economy at the moment.
Q
I will say that the bribe made me laugh out loud!
You printed the horrible cartoons...now give us money!
It has stuff all to do with money. It's all about power and the ability to make others acquiesce to their demands and to do so will give the islamofascists even more determination.
