Post a Comment*It's beyond ridiculous how far the cartoon riots have gone and continue to go. They are using this as an excuse to fuel the flames of hatred and violence against the rest of the world.
They don't get upset over the lack of basic human rights or terrorists who kill innocent people, but rather go nuts when a few cartoonists render some imaginary deity.
What do they expect in return for publishing Holocaust cartoons? There certainly won't be murderous riots in the streets of Europe.
Their upset because their marginalized. The roots of their anger is the occupation of Iraq, torture and the Palestinian issue.

Can the grammar riots be far behind?

---------------------------
So they're using a cartoon as an excuse? So next time I get upsset about traffic, I'll watch Pokemon and start a riot and say it is insulting, even though I'm mad that I got cut off on the highway? Now we really are stretching to make the rioters the victims.
I talked this over with a Muslim co-worker of mine and I can now see both sides to it. On their side such things are taken much more seriously than most Christians would take a similar jibe at Christ. And that I can understand, we shouldn't dictate their sensibilities to them.
The extent to which the protesters have gone is needlessly violent and only furthers western stereotypes. But the european cartoonists are equally to blame by further fanning the flames by basically saying "oh, can't handle a few cartoons? How about this and this!" and adding injury to insult with more cartoons.
I'm glad Jim has kept his cartoons from being offensive and further adding to the insult.
You're amazing Jon S. You have more positions than a Vegas hooker.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I think Americans (and I am one of them, raised right here in Cincinnati as a good Catholic) are failing to see the basic issue here, and are too swift rolling up all the other issues into the bigger problem. The basic issue (in my humble opinion) is that the Danish cartoonists defaced one of Islams most sacred values, which is not showing the face of Muhammad. We as Americans can not understand that because we are a society that embraces people who sell cheese sandwiches that look like Mary, pancakes that look like Christ, oil stains that show weeping saints. Of course, the majority of the people I KNOW think those incidents are ridiculous and that people who sell those things on Ebay are trying to make a fast buck. But nevertheless, when those stories hit the news, it just shows that Westerners have a very distorted sense of value when it comes to the images of religion. Of course the Muslims think we're insensitive and disrespectful, because we can't even do that with our own gods! In no way do I think the violence is right. Absolutely not. I just think we have to look at both sides and see where the negative reaction could be coming from.
9:58 Anonymous. You don't think they're right, but we should try to see where they are coming from? To what gain?
What does it matter where they are coming from if you beleive they are not right?
I also beleive they are are not right, but if they wan't to kill innocent people over a cartoon then I say put those animals in a cage, where they can no longer hurt anyone.
At that point I don't give a fat rats ass if they are right or wrong. They are an animal and they should be locked up or neutralized (shot, for those of you in Rio Linda)
"They are an animal and they should be locked up or neutralized (shot, for those of you in Rio Linda)"
1. Singular vs. plural
2. Good job quoting Rush. That's intelligent discussion.
