I know that I said enough with the editorials, but bear with me.

Alright, you clowns, I have had it, with this Mohammed drawing thing. I am talking to you, muslims. Threatening a cartoonist to the death because he drew your profet? What is a matter with your? Are you insane? Well, yes, you pretty much have to be, in order to be willing to kill people because of your religion.

Why are you so insecure? You have a long history of inventing stuff, down there in the middleeast. You have had a long and glorious influence on world culture. Is it because you are afraid? You think that you are being pushed out? Well, if you are being left behind by the western world and the rest of asia, perhaps it is because you have not shown much interest in evolving as a society, instead laying all of your eggs in the basket that is religion.

That is the whole problem, isn't it? Religion is your whole thing, it is really all that you have to offer. And you know it. So you overcompensate by protecting it with all that you got. But don't be like that. The muslim world has got plenty to give, if you will just let yourself loosen up. Religion is not everything. Put at least some of your eggs over in the "technology" basket.

Yes, we reprinted the cartoons, and we should reprint them every single day for a hundred years, just to show you that we will not bow down, that we will never surrender, and we will never shut up. Even if there is only one dane left, and all the drawings have been destroyed, he will reconstruct them from memory and nail them to every lamppost in the world.
