Yeah, so all Muslims and 'Rag heads' stone people and hang them etc. what utter nonsense. Those are Sharia Laws, you don't have to like them and they can develop as democracy developed, women had no rights and were subserviant to men in western societys until mid way through the last century, you cannot look at an African village that has been torn apart by the west through centuries of colonnialism and proxy wars and say why is there no internet here? Pigs make more sense then your generalisations and facist opinions. The Danes were wrong because even though there is freedom of speech, there is also respect for each other, and that is the line that was crossed.

Fear and hatred is bred out of ignorance. Bottom line is it's outright mean and wrong to insult others. That's where some went wrong. Dumping salt into a wound isn't the way to reconciliation and understanding. There are always a few that do not wish peace and will use their power and abilities to stir a pot. There is always a higher ground on both sides. The peaceful solution can only be reached by the wise. Don't acknowledge the ignorant behavior of the few.

'Yeah, so all Muslims and 'Rag heads''

I didn't call anyone a 'raghead.'

Regarding this incident where a cartoonist accurately (as far as cartoons go) made a satirical connection between violence and islam, I do think it is absurd and irrational and infintile for mobs to go around breaking and burning things. Don't you see the irony? They are upset at being called violent so they have a tantrum and stage riots?

'you cannot look at an African village that has been torn apart by the west through centuries of colonnialism and proxy wars and say why is there no internet here?'

Stop making excuses and blaming others. It is not 'western' ideology and rule of law that has perpetuated this 'primitive' mentality (as you point out). It is islamic dogma. This dogma and its symptoms will not disappear until it is confronted by rational adults.

'facist opinions.'

What is fascist about my opinions? Do you even know what the word means?

'The Danes were wrong because even though there is freedom of speech, there is also respect for each other,'

Threatening to kill people, burning and breaking things is not respect.

'and that is the line that was crossed.'

How dreadfully stupid you are. Do you really think that a Danish cartoon is a valid cause for violence and threats of murder???

I used to think that Islam was a respectable religion.

Thanks to 9/11 and the Muslim reaction to the cartoon story, I know today that Islam was founded by a mad man savage crook.... and all men that follow this disgusting cult are savages, radicals or 'peace loving'.

They have no place in today's world, so OUTLAW this death cult and kill all of them before they kill us.

The best part is when these Muslims call for 'Respect'.

Muslims have never respected and never have any respect for any other religion. They trample, rape, pillage and other violate anyone who dares to be different, just like their founder monster has taught them.

It is frightening to see how many 'useful idiots' post here in these forums defending this scum of mankind, called Islam!

Islam is the abomination of all attempts by scruple-less cons to exploit the ignorance of people and their need for some sort of religion.

Truly disgusting!
