Egyptians Hate Danes More than Us!

A completely meaningless poll found that Denmark still holds the most ire from Egyptians because of that cartoon spat from well over a year ago.

If this isn't cultural chauvinism at its peak. Maybe I was raised a little too culturally relativist in the far-left American Public Re-Education Centers, but seriously, let it go. Egyptians (and, really, all Arabs) need as many allies as they can get, given that they are on the receiving end of our War on (of) Terror (thanks, Borat!). An extended olive branch of respectful disagreement and discussion about how to move forward to make sure both sides are satisfied would have not only way legitimized Egypt as a mature player on the world stage, but would have endeared them to Denmark, potentially creating an Arab advocate within the West.

I'm all for freedom of speech. I think the Danes should not feel the least bit guilty about publishing incendiary cartoons. I'm sure this sentiment was made clear by thousands of other people many months ago, but seriously, Egyptians, give it a rest. We get it. You're pious. Congratulations. I'm sure you'll get to heaven faster than the rest of us, who probably aren't even going to heaven in the first place within your framework of deciding that sort of thing, so why does it matter what we do? Let us sin our way to hell in peace. Look at it this way: don't be mad that we're sinning, be happy that you won't have to put up with our sinning in heaven!

And start hating countries for actual atrocities they commit, not cartoons they publish.

Speaking of which, where were you guys on Family Circus and Marmaduke? Seriously guys, riot and allow ambiguous hatred to fester over those ones. They're so not funny!
