One of the quotes is rather funny: “I live in an orange zone?”

I was rather happy when I came across the website zozo2k3.blogspot.com. I wouldn’t know of it hadn’t it been for a comment on kfwebs.net.

This blog, and several with it stand up and rectify my hopes of this being an extremist act not supported by most of the citizens of Syria. From the blog:

I was there yesterday, I had to see the “conflict zone”.
What was not aired in the news was that the first floor of the embassy complex is a SYRIAN Company “Debbane”, and the last floor is an actual residence!

A thank you from Norway to all of you whom post blogs standing up against the attacks.

Earlier today the Danish embassy (Swedish embassy is in the same building) was set on fire in Syria ( Damascus ) after cartoons featuring the Prophet Mohammad was printed. Recently the Norwegian embassy (about six kilometer away) was set on fire as well.

The cartoons were originally printed in a Norwegian Christian conservative magazine by the name of “Magazinet”. Earlier this week a video of the editor of the said magazine being assassinated started spreading on the Internet.

One of the cartoons show the Prophet Mohammad with a turban resembling a bomb, have caused uproar across the Muslim world. While most would react by sending a letter to the editor, it has broken into an international situation. This reaction provoke me to print one of the images in question.

I disagree with what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.
