I got to photo #40 of 274.

Mary Anne — 2/3/2006 8:32:46 PM (archived)

I saw the signs. It seems they all appeared at one demonstration, the one outside the Danish embassy in London. Did you notice they were all written in the same hand?

I also saw many photos of large numbers of people gathered peacefully, praying.

I saw photos from numerous nations from three continents. This tells me that large numbers of Muslims share the revulsion over something that seems so inconsequential to us. Not so inconsequential to them, I guess.
