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?

My guess is that it's not Islam the religion that is so violent, but its the
pare of the world that most of them come from that is so violent....They
have been solving their problems for thousands of years by killing their
enemies.
