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?


Off topic but WTF.
