A comment by TooTall on Drop your government and get down on your knees

Well, since Iwo Gina wants us to remain on topic (wink) here's follow up on one of the Danish artists who drew a cartoon of Muhammad. The source is from [url=http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/0,1518,536544,00.html]Spiegel Online.[/url]

[quote]Two years ago Kurt Westergaard was in his Copenhagen home drawing pictures. One of them was of the Muslim prophet, Muhammad. Now Westergaard is homeless.

Draw a picture offensive to Muslim extremists, and you might find yourself without a roof. Ask Kurt Westergaard, one of the twelve Danish cartoonists whose autumn 2005 Muhammad caricatures lead to violent protests throughout the Muslim world. He was booted from his police-protected hotel room on Feb. 15 for being "too much of a security risk." And now the 73-year-old cartoonist and his wife are without a place to live.[/quote]

Shame on the hotel for giving in to threats of violence from follwers of the "Religion of Peace".
