Gulf retailers were pulling Danish products from their shelves and ambassadors were being summoned for a dressing down over the publication in a Danish newspaper of cartoons depicting Prophet Mohammad. Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador to Denmark last week to protest the Danish government's laissez-faire stance on the offending drawings, and Kuwait said it was summoning Denmark's ambassador.
Sheikh Ali al-Huzaifi, the imam of the holy mosque in Medina, urged Muslim governments to recall their ambassadors and freeze trade with Denmark and Norway "who permit such nonsense, calling it democracy."
"Ridiculing the Prophet is an appaling crime which should not pass without response, because that would allow others in the future to commit the same indecent act," he told Friday worshippers.
"They call [that] freedom of expression and democracy. They are liars and hypocrites," he added.

Wow, what just hit the fan? Dad
i want to see the cartoons
We would be pretty peeved if they were printing nasty cartoons on Prophet Hinkley (I think). Although the response targeting demacracy as the culprit is a BIT of base.
Sounds like "South Park" will soon be spoofing the Prophet Mohammad... They've already done Scientologists, Mormons, Catholics, and Jews... I'd love to listen in if Bush gets an angry call from Suadi Arabia because of a South Park episode...
well Terra I think one big difference is "turning the other cheek" something Mormons are proud off...but others...just simply don'T believe in it... KArin
