Want to what you people think about this. I'm from the contry that published the cartoons drawings in a news paper that offended some in the muslims world, by showing the prophet Mohammed in some way. And today the editor of the news paper Al-Rai Al-A'm in Yemen was convicted one year in jail and the news paper has to close in 6 months, what you think about it. I wouldn't go bananazz or be offended if anyone showed Jesus in anyway in a newspper. I have seen the drawings myself, but I'm not saying it was right to publish the drawings, but neither do I see any problems in it, I believe in freedom of speech and a news paper should be able to publish what they want.

As you can see, I am half Danish. My mother was born in Odense. I wouldn't take it personally if someone portrayed Jesus in some other way. As long as I BELIEVE what I believe in my heart, no one else will be able to shake it. I personally would not have drawn the cartoons, but I wouldn't go nuts over them either.

Religion is always a very volatile issue. If any one messes with any religion peopel will make sure that he pays for it. Well not all peopel think the same so on the one had you can say that if your religion gets affected by some thing some one says then your faith isnt strong enough but in reality thats what is happening. Its just like makeing fun of some one. Even if one ignores it nothing will happen. But som epeopel will lose their temper and react
