Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten that published cartoons picturing prophet Mohammad as terrorist apologized to the Islamic world yesterday.

All controversial cartoons can be seen here (I afraid that you need to be patient, server is overloaded)

Yesterday Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar demanded Israel to change State’s Flag:

“Israel must remove the two blue stripes from its national flag”, said Zahar. “The stripes on the flag are symbols of occupation. They signify Israel’s borders stretching from the River Euphrates to the River Nile.”

From Arutz Sheva, online Israeli newspaper:

“Israel’s national flag, a blue Star of David set between two blue stripes, was designed to resemble a Jewish prayer shawl which traditionally has stripes.”

So, now the war between the East and West coming into the brand new phase: “Design Wars”… Should European designers demand to remove green color from the flags of islamic countries?

Lonely poster of Matti Vanhanen‘s presidential campaign beside of empty stands of other candidates. This picture seems quet ironic now, because yesterday was a second round of elections, where Tarja Halonen defeated Sauli Niinistö with very tight score: 51.8% for Halonen, 48.2% for Niinistö.

Matti Vanhanen gone out from the race on the first round few weeks ago.
