They All Look the Same to Me...

The Jerusalem Post has an article today about Palestinian gunmen storming an EU office in the Gaza Strip, where they demanded an apology from both Denmark and Norway. This is in reference to the cartoons, supposedly insulting to Mohammad, that were published in papers in both countries.

This is in spite of the fact that Norway has been in favor of an economic boycott of Israel.

It turns out that the paper that published the cartoon in Norway is identified with evangelist Christians.

I guess the distinction between the Norwegian official policy and the opinion of a subgroup of its citizensis is a bit nuanced for the average gun-toting thug who likes to engage in these activities.

(P.S. They said that citizens of both countries would be prevented from entering the Gaza strip. THAT'S a punishment??)
