Newspaper says sorry to Muslims; Fatwa issued

At the risk of alienating some of my readers who stop by to check on any signs of ilfe here in 56572 I am posting this story. My guess is that about eight per cent of us now living in 56572 can read the letter of apology to the left. The rest of us can click on the blue link and read it in English.

I had no idea that my last name would make me a target. The same goes for many of us who live here in 56572. It is a fascinating story what is happening in Denmark this week. Hopefully we can learn from this situation and avoid such confrontation locally, despite the principle of freedom of the press.

If you are interested in following the outcome of the situation please use the comment button below to let me know of your interest and I will post updates. No comments? I will assume nobody is interested, but me.
