I might not have put it this way, but Banagor pretty much sums up how I feel about what's been going on lately with the so-called "offensive" cartoons about Muhammed:
What amazes me even more is that some Westerners are angry that we have offended Muslims, as if they truly are worshippers of a"religion of peace." Isn't it incredible that every time these "peaceful" Muslims are offended, more people die as a result? When was the last time that Christians started blowing up airliners full of passengers because they were offended by the trash piece of artwork"Piss Christ"? When was the last time that Jews started blowing up busses full of civilians because the Arab press is chock-full of anti-Semitic works every single fucking day of the year?
Good questions all. Too bad we're not asking them more often!
Oh, and by the way, couldn't it be construed an "act of war" to torch foreign embassies given that they are considered sovereign territory belonging to the states they represent?
Another good question in need of a good answer.
