Fury Over Cartoons Continues
Washington, D.C. (FN) - Political groups around the world inched closer to violence as protests continued over allegedly "sacriligious" cartoons.
At issue are a number of editorial cartoons appearing in international newspapers that depict a variety of political leaders in embarrassing and potentially defamatory situations.
“We are not terrorists, we are not anarchists, but we are against those people who blaspheme our leaders,” said one protestor in London wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the emblem of the socialist Labour Party and buttons depicting the group's notorious ring-leader, Tony Blair.
In Washington D.C., the Republicans and Democrats, two normally rival groups trying to seize control of the United States, stormed the Capitol today and staged a sit-down protest over the inflammatory cartoons.
"They call our leaders stupid. They say they have embezzled money. They make jokes about our holy book, the Bible. Is nothing sacred to these infidels?" said one Republican protestor.
In Canada, four rival militia leaders held press conferences on Parliament Hill and threatened to grind the nation's business to a halt for two years or longer if need be.
Only in France was some sense of normalcy maintained after the French government pre-emptively surrendered to the protesting political groups, who promptly named protest leader Jacques Chirac to run the country.
