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."

http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercu...d/13799947.htm

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

Off topic but WTF.

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.

The biggest problem with Islam is that, unlike in the West, there was
never any central authority, no 'pope'. With the rise of protestantism,
the rebellion against the papacy and the assetion of the hegemony by
Henry VIII, and the attacks on religion by David Hume, the church was
no longer looked upon as absolute. When the black death wiped out half
of Europe, the clergy not excepted, the ability of clergy to protect
against evils became suspect. Atheism became a much more reasonable
position...

Because...despite all the politically correct BS commentary to the
contrary...
-Too much of Islam DOES encourage this sort of criminal behavior.
-Their leaders DO remain all too silent about these things (with a few
insignificant exceptions).
-And let's face it...regardless of what MAY have been an idealized,
originally less-violent belief system...has not reached a point where
millions advocate murder over cartoons, and the extermination of the Jews in
Israel. Just because one's motive for murder is religion...does not make it
anything other than murder. These people shouldn't be treated as
zealots...they are criminals...killers...murderers--and should be treated as
such. If a guy is chanting in the street that he wants you dead, and is
encouraging the real, active murder of another...they are accessories in
those murders, and should be arrested, tried, and if convicted, imprisoned
or worse.

The world has been sitting back on their cow-towing arses so long that it
takes cartoon-motivated murder and atomic weapons in the hands of Iran
before they even begin to open an eye-lid.

Sheesh.

"Their solution to everything that they don't like is to kill."
I suppose you think that the born again in the white house was living by the
bible when he destroyed a country, killed thousands and celebrated "Mission
Accomplished" afterwards? The reality 'we' live in, is built on hypocrisy
and double standards.
