What else needs to be said?

Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
* Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage. * Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage. * A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage. * Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage. * Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage * Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage. * Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Come on, is this really about cartoons? They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. You don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. When, though, do they become outraged? When do they take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"
Indeed. Why not?
love Boortz
Islam is the Religion of Peace.
Mooselims are outrageous!!! Roll Tide.
Say it like it is, brother!
It is a classic example, how these reprobate freaks can complain, after the world clearly understands what total undesireables they are...let them stew, let them complain, let them vanish back to the sub-human third world from which their sick minds come from.
I remember that Rusdie article, it was great...I'll try to find it, or can someone quicker than me post it?
What else needs to be said?
He nails it once again.
CN had an article on the Muslim outrage...and they will not republish the cartoon "out of respect for Islam"
But it;s okay for Al-Jazeera to and CNN to show flag burnings?
It's okay for Al-Jazeera to show American bodies hanging from a bridge in Iraq.
It's okay for the NYT to publish National Security policy?
Gimme an EFFing break.

It's hard for people to jump on the "Not all Muslims are terrorists or terrorist sympathizers" bandwagon when the moderate Muslims never organize and speak out.
Silence equals consent.
Going in the 'freeper keeper' file!!
Mooselimbs are upset? So What!
"I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims."
Great article except for that line. A bow to the PC crowd. You know: Diversity and multiculturalism. All cultures are equal, and no one culture or religion is better than any other.
BS! There are cultures and religions that ARE superior to others. It's the nature of the world. And I think the terrorists DO represent a majority of muslims. They are complicit in their silence.
Don't water down a great article by kow towing at the end Neil.
bttt
that about sums the situation up.
They are the terrible two year olds of the civilized world, and Uncle Sam needs to administer a little attitude adjustment
With the exception of 'firing guns into the air', this sounds like many liberals, too.
Yep! Eff 'em if they can't take a joke!
In case no one has noticed with all the outrage everywhere, there is only one place where European institutions are being ransacked, where Europeans are running for their lives, where is is happening under authority sanction. Where? Mostly Gaza and a couple of other "Palestinian" strong holds.
As some of us tried to forewarn, and are still attempting to forewarn, create a "Palestinian" State as terror central and the World has seen nothing yet.
Interesting and TRUE!
It is just a time=honored tchnique of diverting the attention of people while a select elite pillage and plunder all riches for themselves.
Oh, No! Now look what you've done. Now they'll come after Freepers! Don't post any more cartoons.
Silence equals consent
-------Silences equals fear and spinelessness.
The Moor Next Door
Evenings in that part of the country must have been a kind of sad relief. But today, with the sun bearing down, making the whole landscape shimmer with heat, it was inhuman and oppressive.

More Nonsense
While the French newspapers that re-printed the Muhammed cartoons are being banned in Tunisia and Morocco, Hezb Allah is speaking up on the issue.
The leader of Lebanon's Shi'ite Hizbollah group said the cartoonists would have thought twice if Muslims had fulfilled a 1989 edict by late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini to kill Britain's Salman Rushdie over his novel The Satanic Verses.
"Had a Muslim carried out Imam Khomeini's fatwa against the apostate Salman Rushdie, then those lowlifers would not have dared discredit the Prophet, not in Denmark, Norway or France," said Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
Right. That've shown them! Give me a break!
From the same source, I read about a few "liberal" commentators. Heh. Here are some quotes from these "liberals":
"This active movement against the insults to the Prophet has been absent on many other issues which are no less important," Saad Hagras wrote in Egypt's Nadhet Misr.
"It is discouraging that the collective energy of the Muslim world is consumed punishing a small European country over a drawing, while U.S. military bases infest the heart of the Arab world," Palestinian-American Ramzy Baroud said in Egypt's English-language al-Ahram Weekly.
As'ad AbuKhalil, a Lebanese-born academic based in California, said Arab governments were inciting the campaign "to channel the political anger of their citizens".
"They would not dare to lead a campaign against Israel, so let them bash Denmark and Norway," he said.
So, these are the liberals of the Muslim world. Xenophobes and angry crackpots (that's most refering to Abu Khalil or the Angry Arab). They ought to be leading campaings against Israel, as if that hasn't already been done with spectacular results. And this business about U.S. military bases "infesting" the Arab world: yes, let's campaign against these bases so that in Iraq, the baby killing mafiosos can take the country over and make a second Iran or Saudi Arabia. Very liberal. Yes, we should focus our attention on the United States and Israel. I'm not sure where Reuters got the notion that these were "liberal" opinions. These are the same opinions of the Arab regimes. The only difference is that while the Arab regimes are both using the cartoons and hatred for Israel and the United States as a method of diverting public attention from their mismanagement and folly, these "liberals" are only advocating the later. If these foolios actually are the "liberal opposition" in the Arab and Muslim world, then we've got a bigger problem than I ever thought.
Addendum: I just saw on the BBC (TV) and Al-Arabiya (via The Big Pharaoh)that a Jordanian newspaper has reprinted the cartoons as well. Rock on.

I think you're on to something.
I was disappointed to see Karzai respond with indignation.
Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage

I see Niel Boortz is still doing his idiot impersonation.
How do you know that?
There are no disclaimers from the "moderate" muslims about the behavior of these jerks.
Call them "enablers".
Still waiting to see Muslims taking to the streets to show outrage over 9/11. . .but I'm smart enough to not hold my breath.

There's clearly no constant on this list . . . .
Actually, he is expressing the beliefs and feelings of many non-Muslims about what is perceived as Muslim nonchance and indifference. It's good that you remind us here that there is at least some Muslim outrage instead of absolutely no Muslim outrage whatsoever. However, Rushdie's disbelief at the lack of Muslim outrage is more believeable.
An Arab moderate is one that hasn't blown himself up yet.
Good one.
There actually are disclaimers expressed by Muslims worldwide, that the violence-prone Muslims do not represent the viewpoint of most Muslims.
However, nearly the only time I have seen Muslims express outrage against Muslim violence is when said violence is inflicted on Muslims, and that has mostly been in Iraq and Iran.
Tell that to the Iraqi (Muslim) Soldiers who fight and die along side American soldiers. Tell that to the parents of Hatim Kathiria
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1477079/posts
Tell that to Cpl. Mohammed N. Rahman
http://freerepublic.com/focus/news/1451921/posts?page=15
Tell that to Samir
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1391805/posts
Tell that to the Millions of Malaysian & Indonesian voters that sent the radicals packing in the last elections.
See reply #39
Encourage everyone you know to make an effort to purchase products made in Denmark. I know i will.
They were so placid and peaceful before those awful cartoons!
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims.
How? How do you know that?
In other words he's being a demagogue.
Mohammed eats dead pig meat raw!
Mohammed has naked oral sex with my male dog!
Mohammed is a transvestite!
Mohammed has female genitals!
Awesome little toon !
The five oldest and most trusted Islamic sources don't portray Muhammad as a great and godly man. They confirm that he was a thief, liar, assassin, mass murderer, terrorist, warmonger, and an unrestrained sexual pervert engaged in pedophilia, incest, and rape. He authorized deception, assassinations, torture, slavery, and genocide. He was a pirate, not a prophet. According to the Hadith and the Qur'an, Muhammad and his henchmen plundered their way to power and prosperity.
Stay safe !
Could it be because we as a society give them that impression?
I agree wholeheartedly.
Steelers fans are nuts!
Maybe I'm jaded after reading one too many "take over the west" comments on Muslim discussion forums.
I don't believe about 99% of them.
Silly when the actions are reversed.
