"Should we gas them, nuke them, or what?"

Of course not. But we stop ignoring the fact that islam is front for a global terror organization that openly advocates the violent overthrow of anyone who isn't muslim. Just like we don't have to welcome drug cartels, ethnic gangs, or violent racist organizations into our society, we do not need to welcome islam. As western nations begin to accept that islam is NOT a peaceful religion, and that islamic organizations are conduits of violence and terror, it will become increasingly difficult for islamic terror groups to operate freely in most western countries. We will all be better off.

They won't capitulate. They will wait...like a spider....till we are throughly entangles in their web.

"Should we gas them, nuke them, or what?"

Internment, rehabilitation will probably work as well as it does on sex offenders, but I really expect more promising results from reincarnation.

Ah, yes; the religion of peace strikes again.

[Eurotwit]

According to AP last night, after the crowd had torched and looted the Norwegian embassy, they went on to the French one.

Since then I have heard nothing.

I presume the police managed to finally control the mob.

Mahmoud Zahar, leader of the militant Palestinian group Hamas, told the Italian daily Il Giornale the cartoonists should be punished by death.

But that blathering old fool Jimmah Carter said we should give Hamas a chance to prove they're "partners in peace"!! This doesn't sound "peaceful" to me. Sounds more like a terrorist organization. Oh, wait. . . .

Hey, here`s how to do it, lets use insulting cartoons to stop Ben Lousing! That`s going to work, right?

[bybybill]

Don`t think our guys in Iraq think you have the right idea.

[danamco]

Ah, yes; the religion of peace strikes again.



Since they get so upset about the toones, why don't the media instead show the muzzies their beheading of Berg and the others that has been shown on tv???

[WestVirginiaRebel]

I have to wonder-how can such a warped culture have managed to survive for so long?

[Galena Nevada]

Interesting that Muslims are strictly monotheistic (even the concept of the trinity rankles them), but they are treating Muhammad like a god with their cries to avenge him. I wonder what Allah would say about the rioting and murders? Is the rage over the depictions of Muhammad what Allah would want? Seems like they are putting the concerns over their prophet's likeness being drawn over the will of Allah. Jesus said by their fruits ye shall know them, whether they be good or whether they be evil. Rioting and murder in my estimation are evil. The counsel to turn the other cheek stands in stark contrast to the Muslim reaction to these drawings. The Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet; too bad that they don't follow more of his teachings.

exellent point, while everyone seems to be cheering the muslims acting stupid and they certainly are, let us not forget we have plenty of young men and women in that part of the world at grave risk regarding this issue. im with you on this one. i loathe islam, but this will be seen down the road to have been a costly cartoon. costly to us that is.

[Rokke]

Muhammad was a violent murderer who gained his initial fame through his brutality. I think he'd like what his modern followers are doing.

Hi bybybill-

My non-scientific study has shown that virtually all Muslims whom I encounter (including coworkers, former roommates, vendors) become somewhat "unhinged" when discussion turns to terrorism, blame for 9/11/01, Israel, or Muhammad cartoons.

"Don`t think our guys in Iraq think you have the right idea. "

Sorry. I really didn't realize that you had been appointed to represent our guys in Iraq. But, on the other hand, I believe that when our guys in Iraq understand that all moosies read and believe in a book that says everyone but moosies are their enemy, and that they get 72 virgins for killing non-moosies, and it is the duty of all moosies to kill infidels, which they define as "non-moosies", then I really believe that most of our guys in Iraq probably do "get it".

CNN International had an interesting remark about this...it was, I believe, a Danish commentator who noted that Syria was a police state and did not have "spontaneous" demonstrations...

Note the demonstrators...and the countries which are "allowing spontaneous demonstrations"...

And remember: The most inflammatory cartoons were invented by an Islamofascist extremist group...

Essentially this is propaganda being fanned and exploited by certain people who want a war of civilizations...

I feel sorry for the average Muslim, who like Christians just want to raise their family in peace, being manipulated into hatred of the West by these bastards...

How do the cartoons help us in the fight against the nutburgers? What do we gain by insulting them?

Actually they are not helping us fight them ....what is happening is that they are fighting themselves. Think of it this way .....they have always used Europe as a place where they can espouse their various forms of angst and ire, where they can use to the maximum the freedoms inherent in those nations. After all the Europeans have always been so tolerant. However in the last couple of years the tide of popular opinion has been turning against them, especially after the murder of the Dutch film-maker, and there is spreading awareness that the significant numbers of Muslims immigrants in Europe are not willing to assimilate into the larger culture. And not only that, but they want to actually turn the culture they found in Europe into some semblance of Islamic decorum.

For instance take MAAD (Muslims against advertising), who have been going about in Britain defacing billboards that they feel are 'immoral.'

Here is a link on MAAD: Link to MAAD

That is just one example (I have others, including some with links, if one cares to see them).

Anyways, Europe is, far and large, waking up to the core issue they have within their midst. Not one of immigration, or even one of Islam ....but rather one of immigration where the migrants are:

- not willing to cohere with the native culture,

- try to change the native culture,

- use the freedoms innate in the native culture to disseminate hate (and even terror).

Everytime something occurs that doesn't please the muslim immigrants they tend to resort to unabated violence, and people are simply tired of it.

How does this help us? Well, it is not meant to help us .....this is 100% the doing of those people who cannot control their rage. Who seek to influence (actually not influence but more along the lines of bring to submission) the culture into which they have immigrated.

I also do not take it as an insult to them .....it would only have been an insult if they had protested against it in a peaceful manner and stuck to civil propriety. However the moment they started threatening kidnap, threatening murder, and burning down embassies it became a great insult ....a great grave insult. However the insult was that the muslims doing this were insulting THEMSELVES.

Crude analogy: If someone says I am a brigand and a scoundrel, I can easily take that as an insult. However, if my reaction to that assertions is to go forth and start robbing and pounding on people passing by, and I am claiming that Iam sticking up people because I am 'protesting' the insult of being called a robber, then serious questions need to be asked.

Some time back a crucifix was put in a jar of urine, and it was called art. In another 'art' exhibition the virgin Mary was smeared with dung.

What happened? People protested, and others decided to not attend the 'art' exhibits. However there were no threats of kidnap, no threats of murder, no masses of people walking around with placards such as these:

If they do not like the free speech in Europe (and for that matter America) then they (and everyone, including myself ...an immigrant BTW) is FREE TO LEAVE. However one cannot come as a guest/migrant to a foreign nation, and then try to change the very bastions that made that nation what it is! It would be like someone coming to my house and telling me I HAVE to become a vegan, chant Daoist mantras while doing Hindu mudras, stick brussel sprouts up my nose and count backwards in Chinese. If that happened I would kick that persons @r$e out of my house with all the strength (and malice) I could muster.

Same thing here .....if it was a simple (and peaceful) protest then all would be 100% ok. And it would be an insult. However when all these violence stuff starts then a whole new beast is born.

The ironic thing is most playground age kids could tell this people what they are doing is silly. After all, in kindergarten most kids know that if Billy insults Jane what she should do is report him to teacher. They also know that if Billy insults Jane, and then she takes a rock and tries to shove it up Billy's nose, that suddenly the teacher (and the parents) will be all over Jane like a bad rash, and Billy's statements (insult or not) will not even matter. Someone needs to hire a very good PR person for the muslims who would find a cartoon worth violence.

Anyways, we do not gain anything. However the radical muslims may VERY well have lost Europe. This has most probably sealed it for them.

We may not have gained a darn thing, but they surely have lost a lot.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

They're just like us. Really.

Except insane.

[MedicalMess]

We have discovered the enemy's soft underbelly!


DRAW MORE CARTOONS!!!!!!
