This Worries Me…
February 5th, 2006
The country in which I have spent most of my life as well as the one in which I currently reside have recently seen their national emblems being burned on the streets of remote nations. Both countries’ embassies in Syria have been burnt to the ground; “Danish consulate in Beirut ablaze” is the current headline on CNN’s web site. Al Qaeda connected group encourages “chopping Danes to pieces”.
All of this because of some cartoons.
I simply cannot put into words the feeling of frustration in my head over the pitchfork-and-torch-like behavior that is being shown at the moment. And worse, the situation is escalating and shows no signs of stopping. This is a potentially lethal crisis with unimaginable consequences.
Wikipedia covers the events as they unfold.
