Car bombing at Danish embassy in Islamabad; Denmark responds: “We will not give them that victory”
At least five are dead in a car bombing outside the Danish embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan. It never ends. Via the Jerusalem Post (hat tip - JWF):
A huge car bomb exploded outside the Danish Embassy in the Pakistani capital on Monday, killing at least five people and wounding dozens more, officials and witnesses said.
The blast echoed through Islamabad and left a crater over a meter deep in the road in front of the main gate to the embassy. Glass, fallen masonry and dozens of wrecked vehicles littered the area. People, some bloodied, ran helter-skelter in a state of panic.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but al-Qaida No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri recently called for attacks on Danish targets in response to the publication of caricatures in Danish newspapers depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
In related news: “Muslim hard-liners intolerant of tolerance rally.”
slamic hard-liners broke up a religious-tolerance rally Sunday in Indonesia, beating demonstrators with bamboo sticks and calling for the deaths of members of a Muslim sect they consider heretical, witnesses said.
About 200 Christians, moderate Muslims and members of Ahmadiyah - an Islamic group the government is considering banning - gathered at the national monument in the nation’s capital of Jakarta to celebrate the country’s tradition of pluralism, said Gunawan Mohamad, a prominent magazine publisher who took part in the rally.
At least 12 people were injured after members of the Islamic Defenders Front rushed the square, waving flags and swinging sticks, organizer Anick Tohari said.
“Repent or die,” shouted men dressed in green and white Islamic outfits as they punched and kicked bleeding protesters, video footage showed.
Denmark responds. No submission:
Per Stig Møller, the foreign minister, blamed the attack on ‘dark forces that want to destroy Pakistan’s relationship with others’.
‘We will not give them that victory,’ he said at a press conference in Copenhagen. He that the relationship between the Danish and Pakistani governments is as strong as ever, saying that the bombing ‘is also an attack against Pakistan’s government and their security people’.
The minister said that both governments are working together to find out who is behind the attack.
Other embassies in relevant countries have been put on alert and their security is being reviewed as a result of today’s event, he said.

GO DENMARK!
It sounds like Denmark is a country that actually gets that appeasement does not work.
My hats off to Denmark!
Taking bets on when the first poster blames it all on Booooooosh.
Glad to see the Danes are refusing to give in to these terrorist thugs.
The rest of the world needs to wake up, starting with the DIMWITS we have running congress here, and realize they are in a fight for their continued existence. I can only hope the alarm goes off for them before it is too late.
Salamic hard-liners broke up a religious-tolerance rally Sunday. Oh man the watch the salami! (Sorry I had to).
I pray for an annealed resolve for the Danish people.
Sounds like a group of people with whom we can do business. Indonesia they said? Gee, isn’t that where our Senator Obama spent so much of his formative years?
Well God Bless Denmark.
It’s unfortunate that it had to take yet five more lives in order to shake Denmark from their sumber but it’s nice to see that they arose with the cajones to fight back. Godspeed Denmark.
I thought Pakistan was our ally and like, you know, like all stable and we could count on them and Musharraf is our guy, like………wait - someone killed Ms. Bhutto and it’s really naughty to make fun of the Koran or Muhammad in cartoons or whatever………
What is most amazing to me is the number of people here in the USA that don’t see the threat. I say things to the women like “I hope you like wearing a burkha” and they respond - “That’s what all of you neo-cons think”. Not once do they give pause to think that there are those who believe a non-muslim is an infidel, infidels deserve to die, and the muslim that helps the non-muslim to hell early gets bonus points.
These small minded people say “give us change”, nor once considering that the change could be really really bad.
last sentence in #9 - nor -> not
I think that shipment of balls sent to the GOP got sent to Denmark by mistake.
The religon of peices is at it again. All over some small cartoons. What a backward cave dwelling religon. But if you point this out you are a racist. (yeah somehow a religon is now a race, go figure) I am beginning to think that it would take another 9/11 or a series of them before some people wake up to the very real threat islam poses today. The really sad think is that it doesn’t need to be a threat. They can decide to rid themselves of this violence. But they have choosen not to.
sumber = slumber. It’s it Monday already?
It’s so funny when European countries (sans Britain) talk tough…like anyone actually believes them.
Oh, I’m not fixing the other one…
I’m glad that Denmark is taking care of this and isn’t backing down.
Isn’t this the story of history, that people convince themselves that nothing bad will happen only because they wish that nothing bad will happen?
Sadly, the media induced short attention span of the American (and world) population is enhanced by the effectiveness of Bush’s anti terrorist measures here.
But have no fear: if Obambi gets into office, you can be sure that the restoration of full citizen privileges to our enemies, and suppression of monitoring techniques (gutting the PATRIOT act) and the means to go after these animals will ensure another attack, and then we can all get worried about Islamofascists gain.
How sad that our domestic enemies aid our foreign enemies.
What’s Danish for lan astaslem?
“THERE ARE MANY RELIGIONS IN THIS WORLD, BUT ONLY ONE RELIGION OF PEACE”…
It is amazing and scary. I work for a major multi national corporation, and this morning on our internal homepage, the company boasted about how proud we should be that we made our first “sharia complaint” real estate purchase in Dubai. Makes me sick.
Let’s run some more bikini pix along with stories like this.
Why is Denmark not listed as our #1 Ally in the world. Oh, I remember, we are into appeasment. Forgot for a moment.
The Danes have taken the lead in drawing a line in the sand to this medieval death cult. This American stands in solidarity with them in their fight against the forces of Islam that would enslave us all.
I am not surprised by the intolerance of the death cult followers of the false prophet that broke up the religious-tolerance rally in Jakarta. I am still amazed anyone can call this a religion of peace when you continue to see the daily reports of slaughter and blood shed thanks to the yeoman’s work of the new media.
Nope, they won’t see it until it bites them in the behind.
Then we’ll see how things like abortion rights, gay marriage, and feminism fare.
But some liberals will just be happy that Christians can’t worship freely under shari’a, so I guess it wouldn’t be a total loss. So I go back to my argument that liberal support of radical Islam is not only borne out of ignorant political correctness, but the notion of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I always thought it was cool being of Danish heritage. Now I know why.
When will people wake up and start wearing the Dannebrog as a political statement? It’s certainly more fashionable than that shop towel kaffiyeh.
“The minister said that both governments are working together to find out who is behind the attack.”
Yeah right. And then the Pakistan government will say ‘leave it to us to take car of’ and they will do nothing. Again.
What’s the recommended dosage of iodine for radioactive fallout?
Who would of thought some cartoons from little ol’ Denmark could transform them into another Great Satan?
As they say in the Muslim World:
“If you don’t submit, we’ll kill you.”
# 26 Cosmo - I’ts good to meet another of Danish blood.
The Danes are the only Europeans ACTUALLY FIGHTING along-side our troops in this WAR.
For those who love horses and dressage (the training of movements for the war horses of old - minus the aires above ground) A Danish horse and rider combination that will knock your socks off:

WAR HORSE PARTY _ ANYONE?!!!!!
Bought a Danish flag-it still has a CROSS on it!
I will now fly it under my large U.S flag.
Thank you Denmark!
My gradparents told me that the Danes used to celebrate our Fourth of July in Denmark. I wonder if they still do.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t those cartoons first published like 2 years ago?
Then again, for a culture that’s still living in the 7th century two years isn’t so long ago.
Wake up America, global warming is not our greatest threat.
Religion of Pieces strikes again.
No, the next time we are attacked by Islamic terrorists they will just blame Bush for invading Iraq and inflaming the Islamic world. While ignoring the fact that Islamic terrorists hate all things not Muslim and attacked us long before Iraq and will continue to seek the destruction of freedom and liberty across the world in their goal of putting the entire world in a global caliphate under sharia law.
PSS
BUY DANISH
I’m sure all these shenanigans from “the religion of peace” will settle down once B-HO talks to them unconditionally.
I ran across this website yesterday, all the mohammed pictures you would ever want to see

Well, I can at least say that this beats Denmark’s heroic performance in WWII.
Perhaps someone should publish a daily tally of deaths resulting from the religious fanatics by religion and show just how peaceful the ROP really is compared with all other religions.
Nah, it’d probably be condemned as hate speech and result in lawsuits if not death threats. Sigh.
Blow up other Muslims in front of the Danish Embassy. Yeah, that’ll teach those Danes! How dare they draw cartoons showing an Islamic love affair with bombs!

Where’s LGM? Has his/her precious Islam gotten another flaw?
We must do everything in our power to stop radical Islam.
Fund Christian Missionary groups, support groups like Muslims against sharia, exploit the dark desires of CAIR and shed them in the light.
Smuggle Bibles into the Arabian peninsula. Don’t recognize the religious rule of Muslim nations.
Never quit, never give up. This is a fight to the end.
Probably still thinking about how he is going to spin this in favor of his Islamic buddies.
Go Denmark! One of the few countries in the world with balls!
Heh, did you see all the hate mail that was linked from the Religion of Pieces on that site?
Yup, they really do want freedom and peace yall. /sarc
the Muslims said “repend and die”,,, who do you repent to who? allah nor mohammaned ever paid the price for ones sin so why would we repent to a false god????. These muslims are so blind they can’t see the true light.
And yet Denmark continues their path to “Multi-Culturalism”, also known as the Islamic takeover of Europe.
