Errrhhh, Migeru. It was like, errhh ... sarcasm :>
This affair has been spun of whole cloth by Akkari and Laban because they felt "ignored". Boo hoo hoo, poor little imams. No one in Denmark gives a shit about them. So they went on a tour to whip their coreligionists in a frenzy and hand over a ready-to-use "controversy" for Mid-Eastern governments to placate their own fundies. And now, you're telling me this is Ramussen's mess? Are you kidding me?

I can't remember the last time the Saudi embassy in Paris or Copenhagen was sieged because of an antisemitic cartoon in a Saudi newspaper. Can you?

Ramussen was 100% correct to tell those countries' ambassadors to fuck off.

He told them off 1 month before the tour of the middle east.

Let's just agree to disagree here.
