    Well, we certainly all know how dangerous cartoons can be. In order to preserve peace and an air of understanding this guy just has to go.
    Three things generally happen when you meet someone unlike yourself:

    1. We try to clone them and make them like us.
    2. We reject them and push them away.
    3. We find common ground and a place of agreement.

    Yet in all three we assert one fundamental concept, that we are right.

    What if when we encounter someone unlike us we seek to see ourselves through their eyes and become open to the possibility that we are wrong?

    Well it was only a matter of time something like this would pop up here.
    There have been rumblings for years about the guys (and girls) th Gardai and G2 have been watching.

    Not the owld semtex mob contracting out I suppose?
    Thanks to all who read my little contributions and don't shout nasty words at me, it means so much and I like the likes. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my parents for their tremendous support throughout my career and without whom I would not be standing here today. Also my agent, she's been my rock.

    Do be careful though as Hector and his clique may descend upon you with their stock in trade proclamations of your inherent inferiority. And as it's the internet, they get off on it.

    Islamic terrorists in Ireland? Reminds me of Frankie Boyle's reaction to the attempted suicide bombing at Glasgow Airport:

    "How dare these Muslims try to bring their religious extremism and violance to Scotland - they don't even have a football team!"

    "Foreign born Irish residents, mainly from Yemen and Morocco"

    Well why not just call them Yemeni and Moroccan then??

    Really, if they're not careful these terrorists will give The irish a bad name!!

    The cartoonist lives ina remote Swedish village. The investigation included not only the garda but also the CIA, FBI and presumably whatever their Swedish equivelent is.
