Default Off Topic: 30 Killed in Protest as Outrage over Cartoons Spreads

From the Mercury News:

"BEIRUT, Lebanon - A Muslim protest over caricatures of the Prophet
Muhammad turned into a rampage that injured at least 30 people in Beirut
on Sunday, as outrage over the drawings spread across continents and
widened the rift between Islam and the West."

Hmmm. Folks portrayed as violent fanatics protest by acting like violent
fanatics. As Alanis Morrisette would say, "Isn't It Ironic?"


I'm going to hate myself, but it seems that the main problem facing Islam
is Islam. Their solution to everything that they don't like is to kill.
Someone writes a book they don't like? Kill the author. A cartoon? Kill
the Danes. Did the Catholics protest when Maplethorp showed his work
called "**** Christ?" Yes. Did they kill, or threaten to kill? No. Why is
Islam so violent?


There's only 72 virgins you know! That's something to kill for, apparently.
Catholic Priests can't have even one of those, so they don't bother to fight
it. I dunno.




Off topic but WTF.
