"One moderate cleric said, "the U.S. keeps on handing out reasons for extremists to become more ferocious. These stories are amazing recruiting tools and more young people will now join the fight.""
He doesn't sound very moderate if he considers lies to be valid reasons for extremists to become more violent.
Wonderful!!
You sir are on to something there. I only wish that many of our fellow FReepers would look at the situation with a little more scrutiny as you did.
Read the story again and you will begin to realize how the "facts" actually have no bearing in the case.
And so now, despite the event being untrue the Muslims are going to continue their riots and protests. Why?
From the quote, I don't believe he said they were valid reasons (or invalid). He just said this was how these stories are used.
