Consider the Muslim view in this clash over cartoons-West's absolutes have limits in Islamic world

This is getting curiouser and curiouser ... apparently these same cartoons were published in an Egyptian paper last October ( during Ramadan, no less.) Did I miss the Boycott Egypt campaign?

They can all go take a dump in their turbans.

Riots and beheadings resulted from those journalistic endeavors too.

It's not like these idiots need a reason to riot. We can not be bound by whatever their latest "offense" is. Al Qaeda bombed the trains in Spain because of the Reconquesta in the 15th Century, for cryin' out loud. It's not like the Spanish were going to back and put a Band-Aid on that boo-boo.

Ah this aint the Islamic world bub.

Sura 9:5 of the “Koran,” “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush.”

This IS^{tm Billy Jeff} their official view! Your mere presence on their planet is excused for them to murder you, your children, your parents,!!!

Aap aap ahh dap dap!!!!!

When people ask for reformation of Islam, I say return to the original Judeo-Christian Bible as either Jews (if they still won't accept Jesus) or Christians.

C.S. Lewis called islam "the greatest of the Christian heresies", greatest here meaning "most successful".

More from the Comical today on this issue:

There seems to be a script for some part of the anger (war of the 12 cartoons)

I'm still boycotting Egypt for the next few decades. Until I am certain that those who cheered on 9/11 have passed on.

And at the same time, Muslims are equally uncompromising and "absolute" in their responses to anyone being disrespectful of their religion and their Prophet.

"Pigman, Pigman, ha ha charade you are.....!"

"Muslims make a point of not insulting Christians about their faith. "
Broke my BS meter.

No mention of the Jews I note.

Apparently, murdering young Christian girls in Indonesia over the holidays was the opening salvo in this compromise solution of which the writer mentions.

Nor does he realize that the Muslims have made a wasteland out of the Christian sections of the Sudan. Maybe they just refrained from swearing in the Lord's name or something as they were doing the killing. /sarc

And someone might want to point out to him that the animated cartoons-aimed at children that run on both Iranian state-run and Palestinian television-depicting the glory of becoming martyrs by way of blowing one's self up in a crowd of people of a different religion might make it hard to negotiate with future generations.

Muslims make a point of not insulting Christians about their faith.

That is absolutely NOT true.

The author of this article has his head in the sand (or somewhere..).

The islam-o-nazis will keep some Christians alive...... as slaves.

Getting cranked off over a couple cartoons is also idolatry. Most are not buying it.

Among the many foolish misjudgments reflected in this column, one of the worst is the author's simple inability to grasp that we are not talking about (let's hope!!) Islamic societies when we are discussing free expression in Europe and the USA. It is not up to Muslims anywhere to tell US whether we can be "absolutist" or not about any of our constitutional principles and traditions. These jackals think they should rule the world and tell Denmark what it's laws should be, etc. This is all a stalking horse for the real problem, the deranged inability of these medieval lunatics to stay in their own hellhole societies and stop telling the rest of us to live under Sharia.

And at the same time, Muslims are equally uncompromising and "absolute" in their responses to anyone being disrespectful of their religion and their Prophet. So how to end the confrontation?

Send 'em back to the Ummah, and build a tall fence.

This clown is a groveling, sniveling apologist for terrorism, period. He should not be receiving any US government money, and he should not be accorded the slightest respect by anyone who is not also an apologist for Bin Laden. Does any sane, rational person think that Bin Laden's movement is about making the world of Islamo-fascists any less "backward" when their most fervent hopes and goals are all about going back to medieval Sharia and a worldwide "Caliphate"?????? This author is a nutcase....

And ya know, I'm watching this stuff play out surfing TV in the last day or two, and I'm watching these same tired theatrics most of of have seen overplayed since the hostage crisis (thank you Jimmy Carter)

What the hell is it with that one thing they do by beating on their foreheads? Does anyone know what is behind that smooth move?

Newsflash: Islamofacists will find the motivation to riot, rape, kill and pillage on a cereal box. Anybody who thinks otherwise is stupid and dangerous.

Furthermore, some of the scum that pulled off 9/11 were at a titty bar getting s-faced and bragging the night before.

So much for the "cleanliness" of the martyrs. Yet they are idolized back home and even here(scumbags like Ward Churchill and Oliver Stone). Oh, what purity! /sarc!

Among Muslim regimes, the dominance of the United States and the West has been taken for granted. And in those countries, there is little hope about the prospects of political change and economic progress. Moreover, the rot of authoritarianism, nepotism and corruption has been so entrenched that people cannot realistically aspire to be free, prosperous or see prospects of technological advance.

The author would have us believe that if left to their own devices, the Islamic world would be prosperous and advance technologically. This may be the biggest lie in the entire piece. It is precisely because the Islamic world cannot compete with the rest of the world that they wish to destroy it.

For a time in the past century, many Islamic countries tried to become a part of the world system hoping to advance, but they failed miserably. Their culture and the religion upon which it is based keep them backward and unable to compete with other cultures in any field of creation - art, wealth, science, industry, medicine, and all others. What is left is the satanic world of destruction and death, fields at which they have long excelled.

Should Islam in the end rule, the world will be pulled down to their abysmal level and today's Islamic nations will be even worse off than they are now. Perhaps this will make them happy because at least no infidel nation will be better off than them. These descendent's of Ishmael are quite literally bastards.

This is the only "Muslim view" I am interested in...
