Apparently the position of islam is so weak, that, in addition to criticism or debate about it (islam), any depiction (cartoon, painting, etc…) of their so-called prophed is also forbidden. I wonder why?
Denmark: Saudi lawyer demands Mohammed cartoon apology (UPDATED)
Denmark: Saudi lawyer demands Mohammed cartoon apology
Danish politician Nader Khader says that “If anybody in the world should apologize to the rest of the world, it’s Saudi Arabia. They should apologize for oppressing their women. They should apologize that women can only inherit half the portion of a brother. They should apologize that women can’t get a driver’s license. They should apologize that you can’t build churches in synagogues in the country.” Khader adds that Saudi Arabia should also apologize for women having to wear a burka. (DA)

A Saudi lawyer has demanded a public apology from a number of Danish dailies that reprinted a controversial cartoon of Prophet Mohammed in February 2008, Danish media reported on Sunday.
The lawyer, identified as Faisal A.Z. Yamani from Jeddah, sent an email to the newspapers that republished the drawing first printed in 2005 and demanded that they print an apology by the end of September, Danish news agency Ritzau reported.
“It should be a clear, public and unconditional apology for the offence and harm caused by their newspaper,” Yamani wrote, demanding that the statement appear in the first three pages of the newspaper and in four languages, Danish, French, English and Arabic.

Yamani suggested in the email that Danish interests in the Middle East could suffer if an apology was not forthcoming.

The Danish newspapers’ association, Danske Dagblades Forening, said it would consult the foreign and justice ministry next week, and contact Danish newspapers to see how many had received the email.
The head of the association, Ebbe Dal, told Ritzau the demands were “unacceptable”.
Following the publication of the cartoons, the Danish government repeatedly refused to heed calls from the Muslim world for an apology citing freedom of expression.

Note the typical islamist veiled threat – Yamani suggested in the email that Danish interests in the Middle East could suffer if an apology was not forthcoming. – that accompanys the demand for an apology. Typical islamist bullying tactic. Good on Danish pol Nader Khader for not instantly caving, like the dhimwits in charge of the Untied Kingdumb.
