Ten Danish lawmakers on Saturday cancelled a trip to Iran two days before their planned departure as diplomatic tensions mounted over Danish newspapers reprinting the Mohammad cartoons. Nine members of Denmark’s foreign affairs committee were due to arrive in Iran on Monday for a three-day trip focusing on human rights and the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

“We are not the ones to apologise,” said Villy Soevndal, the leader of Denmark’s Socialist People’s Party.

“If anyone needs to apologise for freedom of speech, human rights, imprisonments, executions and lack of democracy, it is the Iranians.”

Right on, Villy. Man oh man, I never thought I’d find myself agreeing with a Socialist. And you know, it sounds very suspiciously like the Iranians didn’t really want to talk about human rights OR their nuke program with the Danes or anybody else, anyway.

The Danish Foreign Ministry said the parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee aborted the trip after the Iranian parliament demanded an apology because Danish newspapers reprinted the cartoons of The Pedophile, which was then followed by muslims going apeshit and rioting and burning and murdering (50 died over cartoons) two years ago.

“The Iranian parliament had demanded an apology of the Danish parliamentary delegation, which they of course cannot accommodate,” Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller said in a statement. They were told to apologize immediately upon arrival in Iran. So of course they had to abort the trip and the Iranians damn well knew it.

While the Iranians are demanding impossible apologies, muslim youths have been rioting, setting fires (probably burning cars, they love to do that as we saw in France) and hurling rocks at police for five consecutive nights of vandalism in Copenhagen and other Danish cities.

“Please stop what you’re doing,” Imam Mostafa Chendid, the leader of the Islamic Faith Community, said in an address to young people (Muslims. Young people is a euphamism) during Friday’s prayer. “The Prophet has not taught you to burn down schools, or burn cars or infrastructure. Muhammad has taught us civilization,” Mr. Chendid said.

LOL! Isn’t that a hoot! Mohammad taught them civilization! Riiiiight. That’s why muslims are constantly committing acts of mindless violence. The Imam is probably the one who urged them to riot initially.

Okay, it’s time to sing, now. I’m sure you’ll recognize the tune. Here we go now…

Bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran,
bomb-bomb-bomb, bomb-bomb Iran,
Bomb-bomb Ira a an….
Got it? Great, take it from there.
