Cartoon Inflames Muslim World

It's been in the news since last Sept but here is a recent article:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/...n1272489.shtml

Wikipedia does a great job of summarizing the whole controversy:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jylland...ammad_cartoons

Here are the drawings at the center of the controversy.

I'm not posting this to stir up the Muslim vs. Non-Muslim pot. I thought it was a good illustration of why the two sides will never see eye to eye.

They can dish it out, but they sure can't take.

You may be right.

Muslims attack Danish embassy building in Jakarta
JAKARTA (Reuters) - About 300 militant Indonesian Muslims went on a rampage inside the lobby of a Jakarta building housing the Danish embassy on Friday in protest over cartoons that Muslims say insult Islam and the Prophet Mohammad.

Maybe this will help highlight how insane that part of the Muslim world is. They ( they being radical muslims) are now attacking areas based on a "belief" in a person they have never seen and their faith in a notion they can't prove. Welcome to the crusades all over again.

Someone will actually kill a person over a cartoon. Doesn't that say enough?

Faith based war is the worst kind. They are threating lives of people today based on a person they have never met and a story passed down from generations. I don't want to get into a religious tangent so I will leave it at that. What they, or any religious fighter for that matter (being any side where "God" is involved), are doing is based completely on faith. I have yet to see Mohammed come back or Allah appear, so until then, it is a story passed down. Similar to the way some people said in the turn of the millenium, Christ would appear....it is all faith, nothing more. IMO of course.

What hypocracy. Aren't these the same people who are currently holding an innocent American (female) journalist at gun point?? Are these not the same people who killed and HUNG four American contractors from a bridge?? Are they not the ones who damn, condemn, and mock anything that is not Allah??

Please... I don't want to hear it.
