yes, they did pull off every danish , product, they are no more , this particular flavour i was buying was pulled off too in addition to the other products , only thing it was mistaken by its name , thats all . and now its back on the shelf . but now danish export -yogurt ,butter, buttermilk etc. are no where to be seen , i think lurpak and other brands were there, now its gone , and not just danish products ,when france and some other country printed the images in their newspaper , i read in gulf times that they would also ban the others' countrys' goods likewise in the same fashion . but i am not aware if they have done so .
the thing about UAE is that majority of the people are expats . atleast more than 80% here , this country totally depends on foreign investments so there is less likely going to be any of the riots here, as there are elsewhere , the only thing done here was removal of the goods . this is more justifiable and straightforward , without any tension . but the unecessary behaviour of the other people doesn't prove anything except making them look violent and uncivilised . as we have read from this entire thread. i have skipped articles in the newspaper and didnt read such articles , i avoided it i dont like reading such things , and ended up reading over here . because each one of us here have similar views and attitudes and can relate with each other still having respect.
in this thread we do not actually state that we hate muslims or that sort of thing we are just discussing among ourselves our opinions . over all it is not appropriate or justified either by certain groups of people to react in such a fashion for something . of course there are people who dont believe so what ? and flea dip you are correct there are going to be people anti- religious and make fun off others beliefs. even we among each other could do this , you could make fun that i worship idols , and i could say i dont believe in jesus . like that , but its just for funs sake , and just to tease each other , there is not much to take seriously ,
i went to a catholic school for 2 half years , in grade 5 my teacher was so religious she hated the thought of reincarnation and also she just wouldnt believe in idol worshipping , she would state it in the class right in front of me , what was i to do start an arguement ?or leave the school? then at the same time she would bring out films of different faiths so that it would let us learn and respect others faiths . it was up to us then to decide about it individually , she wasnt cramming the thoughts down our necks forcefully , it was a gradual thing , these type of issues cant get digested too fast . its all ignorance , instead of fighting and killing one should sit down and think it over carefully , start a discussion and educate people , coz some of us dont know about some others faiths and sometimes dont like also , that cannot be helped now . it is the job for those likewise to tell us properly that you cant do that , but it should in a manner where you dont have to threaten each other .and go upon the extent it is going on today , this very moment .

Lebanese Muslims Riot Over TV Show - The Associated Press reports that hundreds of enraged Shi’ite Muslim supporters of Hizballah kingpin Hassan Nasrallah rioted in southern Beirut today.
Over a TV show. Shiite Muslims riot after TV program mocks Hezbollah leader. (Hat tip: LGF readers.) - Quote:
-
Hundreds of Shiite Muslims enraged by a TV comedy that mocked the leader of Hezbollah took to the streets of southern Beirut on Thursday night, burning car tires and blocking roads - including the highway to Lebanon’s international airport, police and witneses said.
The trouble began shortly after a TV show on Lebanese Broadcasting Corp. - a privately-owned Christian channel - in which an actor spoofed Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, wearing the Hezbollah leader’s trademark black turban and sported a similar beard and spectacles.
Hundreds of Hezbollah supporters immediately went out into the streets of southern Beirut, the stronghold of Hezbollah. They carried pictures of Nasrallah and shouted words of support. They also blocked the road to the airport. ...
Hezbollah broadcast a statement on its Al-Manar TV station that said the TV show had “insulted the symbol of the resistance and its leader” but urged supporters “to exercise patience and end their action” while the matter is dealt with through the appropriate channels. What sort of savage mockery could have provoked such a violent response from followers of the Religion of Peace™?
Well, uh, there wasn’t really any mockery.
- Quote:
-
The program, “Bassmet Watan,” which can be translated either as “A Nation’s Smile” or “A Nation That Died,” showed an actor in the role of Nasrallah talking about his alliance with Christian politician Michel Aoun.
The satire did not carry any insulting words, but the mere depiction of Nasrallah, a middle-ranking Shiite cleric, was enough to enrage his supporters.
Jihad!

Glenn Beck was funny in his segment yesterday about this Iranian Holocaust cartoon contest.
Beck explained how the Iranians were holding this contest as pay- back over the Mohammed cartoons, and how they were kind of expecting all the Non-Muslims around the world to riot over this, march in the streets, and have a huge cow.
Beck showed live footage from cities around the world; I think one was Paris, France. In the clip shown, I saw French citizens calmly walking up and down a street, no violence of any kind. Beck then says, "Hmmm, no riots there..."
Beck then goes on to show cities from around the rest of the world, where everyone is just walking along, minding their own business.
Beck ended by saying something to the effect of, "Well, there were no outbursts of violence in the West or elsewhere over the holocaust cartoons. Because, you see, Ahmadinejad, we're NOT CRAZY LIKE YOU!"
Holocaust cartoon fair opens in Iran - Aug 14, 3:56 PM ET
TEHRAN (AFP) - An international contest of cartoons on the Holocaust opened in Tehran in response to the publication in Western papers last September of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.
"We staged this fair to explore the limits of freedom Westerners believe in," Masoud Shojai, head of the country's "Iran Cartoon" association and the fair organizer, said.
"They can freely write anything they like about our prophet, but if one raises doubts about the Holocaust he is either fined or sent to prison," he added.
.... Iran's fiercely anti-Israeli regime is supportive of so-called Holocaust revisionists, who maintain that the systematic slaughter by the Nazis of mainland Europe's Jews and other groups during World War II was either invented or exaggerated.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also prompted international anger by dismissing the Holocaust as a "myth" used to justify the creation of Israel.
From the article above: - "Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also prompted international anger by dismissing the Holocaust as a "myth" used to justify the creation of Israel."
Oh good, another reason for me to dislike Ahm-a-nut-job! :clap:
(He's also know as "Ahmadinnerjacket" on some boards.)
Just because Ahmanutjob hates Jews and the existence of Israel, he's going to chalk up the whole Holocaust as a big lie. What an intellectually dishonest weasel.
Hello Ahmanutjob:
The move by Jews to re-inhabit Israel was begun in the 19th century, not in the 20th.
Before the Holocaust ever happened (or in your bizarro parallel universe, supposedly happened), there was a Jewish guy (I might be thinking of Theodor Herzl) urging fellow Jews (that were in Europe at the time) to move to the area that is now Israel.
Before the re-establishment of Israel, the Jews in that region were already being attacked by Arabic-Islamic wackos, (e.g., Hebron Massacre - 1929).
Since radical Muslims have always been violent (hundreds of years before 1948 [Israel] or 1776 [U.S.A.]), I don't want to hear anymore garbage about how fanatical Muslims blow people up and hate us because they are angry at America's policies in the Middle East or because they hate the nation-state of Israel.
These people hate because they're irrational, immoral, and they're following the Koran and Hadiths, e.g., - > Anyone who is not a Muslim:
KORAN [9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
> On the Jews:
HADITH Sahih Bukhari [4:52:177] Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
> What to do with moderate Muslims:
HADITH Sahih Muslim [5:2325] Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: A group would secede itself (from the Ummah) when there would be dissension among the Muslims. Out of the two groups who would be nearer the truth would kill them.
There's lots more sunshine and giggles to be found in the Koran / Hadiths.

Waiting for Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists, Othodox and Roman Catholics to start issuing Christian Fatwas against this artist (Terence Koh) and to begin rioting all over and starting car fires in France. 
I wonder why some "artists" are still making crappy- looking stuff, along with the somewhat newer trend of placing their bodily fluid in their creations?
It wasn't clever, cutting edge, or cool when it first began in the early 20th century, and it isn't now.
It's gross, immature, relying on shock (not talent) to gain attention. It's something Beavis and Butthead would do if they had to take an art course.
Want to be a great artist? Take a dump on an image most people revere and there you go, instant fame!
Saatchi's new sensation: the Peeing Madonna [and Jesus, by artist Terence Koh]- By Anthony Barnes, Arts and Media Correspondent
Published: 17 September 2006
Charles Saatchi, the art collector who has exhibited works such as Tracey Emin's unmade bed and Damien Hirst's pickled shark, is to display one of his most outrageous works yet.
As the centrepiece of a new display of recent acquisitions he will unveil a sculpture in which more than a dozen religious icons of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary have been fitted with penises and gathered around a urinal.
The "offensive" artwork, Medusa by Terence Koh, will show at "USA Today", a new exhibition of young American artists due to open at the Royal Academy of Arts next month.
Mr Saatchi ranks Koh as one of the most gifted sculptors in the US, and many of Koh's works feature his own blood and semen.
.... Chinese-born Koh, 29, lists his own urine as one of the components in Medusa, a steel urinal inside a water closet which also contains a shelf crowded with the religious figures, each with a crudely fashioned phallus.
This exhibition comes almost 10 years after Mr Saatchi's Royal Academy exhibition "Sensation" caused widespread outrage, featuring massive images of the child murderer Myra Hindley by Marcus Harvey as well as Chris Ofili's depiction of the Virgin Mary, which contained pornographic magazine images.

~~~ EDIT BELOW ~~~
Seems as though all the rage against the Pope has subsided. Now this -
Norwegian TV 2 will show Mohammad cartoons. - This coming Monday the controversial Mohammad cartoons will be shown on Norwegian TV screens for the very first time.
Yesterday it was exactly one year ago since the controversial cartoons was published in Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten, an act that caused outrage in the Muslim world.
When TV 2 air the documentary “Threatened to Silence” this coming Monday the controversial cartoons will once again be shown according to Nettavisen.
The journalist behind the documentary, Per Christian Magnus, believes that showing the cartoons will help strengthen freedom of speech.
“I believe this is a very important act in the fight for freedom of speech. I can personally vouch for the finished product, and I guarantee that only journalistic considerations has been taken into account when considering what’s going to be shown and what’s not.”
At the same time Magnus stress that not showing the cartoons will only censor the story behind the Mohammad cartoons itself.
“The reason why we made ‘Threatened to Silence’ in the first place was to illustrate what the conflict was all about.”
~~~ EDIT ~~~
Cartoon rage starting to build up.
Excerpt: - The rage over the Mohammad cartoons have started to build up again after several Arabic media channels have discovered that Norwegian TV station, TV2, showed the offending cartoons.
Some Muslims in the middle east reacted with disgust when they learned that TV2 showed the cartoons in TV documentary, "Document 2".
Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya have several articles on Doc 2 and Magazinet editor Vebjørn K. Selbekk’s new book on their homepages, writes Nettavisen.

Men [charged with terrorist plot] Angry Over Cartoon of Prophet, FBI Says
2 charged by U.S. with plotting attacks - Danish paper that ran cartoons of Muhammad was apparently targeted- By Carrie Johnson
Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Federal prosecutors unsealed charges Tuesday alleging that two men participated in a terrorism plot that took them from Chicago to Denmark. The case is the latest example of U.S. citizens accused of seeking to travel overseas to carry out violent extremist attacks.
Using e-mail messages, recorded conversations and surveillance, the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force traced the movements of David C. Headley from his apartment in Chicago to Pakistan, where he met at least once with a top al-Qaeda figure to plan foreign operations, according to court papers.
Headley has been in custody since he tried to leave Chicago's O'Hare International Airport three weeks ago, but authorities said they had delayed public notice of the conspiracy charges against him so they could conduct "further investigative activity."
Patrick J. Fitzgerald, U.S. attorney in Chicago, assured the public Tuesday that there was no "imminent danger" to the community. The arrests came after a series of unrelated terrorism charges against American citizens in Boston, New York, Colorado, North Carolina, Texas and central Illinois.
Headley, 49, legally changed his name from Daood Gilani three years ago to avoid suspicion when he traveled, FBI special agent Lorenzo Benedict wrote in a sworn statement. In the past nine months alone, Headley journeyed twice to Denmark, where he posed as a businessman interested in placing ads in a newspaper that in 2005 published cartoons making fun of the prophet Muhammad, the statement said.
Authorities think that Headley was taking steps to carry out terrorist strikes as part of a plan he called "the Mickey Mouse Project," the court documents say. The FBI affidavit described contacts between Headley and two unnamed operatives of Lashkar-i-Taiba, a Pakistani group with ties to al-Qaeda, and with Ilyas Kashmiri, the operational chief of another Pakistani militant organization who survived a U.S. drone attack this year.
The FBI document cited Headley's posting on an electronic message board last year. "I feel disposed towards violence for the offending parties" at the Denmark newspaper who, he is alleged to have said, were "making fun of Islam" by depicting Muhammad in unflattering cartoons.
David S. Kris, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's national security division, and Robert D. Grant, special agent in charge of the FBI's Chicago office, said they had worked closely with foreign partners in the case to share information and disrupt possible threats. Leaders in Denmark held a news conference Tuesday to discuss the case.
U.S. prosecutors also charged another Chicago man, Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 48, with conspiring to provide support to terrorists, accusing him of helping to plan and conceal the purpose of Headley's travels. Headley did not work regularly or have a ready source of income, authorities said, but he told others that he was employed by First World Immigration Services, owned by Rana.
Patrick W. Blegen, an attorney for Rana, said in a telephone interview Tuesday that his client is a "well-respected businessman in the Chicagoland community. He adamantly denies the charges and eagerly awaits his opportunity to contest them in court, and to clear his name and his family's name."
John Theis, an attorney for Headley, declined to comment.
Headley was born in the United States but relocated to Pakistan as a youth. Rana was born in Pakistan but eventually became a Canadian citizen who lived in the Chicago area. Both men allegedly attended a military school in the Pakistani town of Hasn Abdal, according to postings on a Yahoo message group, the FBI's Benedict wrote in his sworn statement.
After his arrest Oct. 3, Headley told the FBI that he had personally met with Kashmiri, identified as the fourth most wanted man by the Pakistani Ministry of the Interior, and that he had received training from another group designated as a terrorist outfit, according to court filings.
When agents searched Headley's checked bags, they uncovered a memory stick that contained 10 short videos of the entrance to the newspaper office in Copenhagen, military sites and the city's central train station.
