The West's relationship with much of the Muslim world is inflamed right now. Why choose to pour salt in this open wound, rather than ask ourselves what we can do to build bridges of understanding?


Let's see 911, Ft. Hood, Boston Marathon. Who's pouring salt on what open wound?

The theater is burning — and the LIVs are still sitting in their seats watching the Barry BS show.

Remarkable how leftists think people should take responsibility for what they say. Why don't they show us by doing just what they are telling the rest of us to do! After all they do nothing but attack the rest of us.

We want to live in peace and harmony. They want us dead. There ought to be someplace where we can meet in the middle now, eh what?

Anyone who works for the press who writes stuff like this is a fool.

The liberal depravity is unending.

They championed the worst filth and vice for decades under the banner of free speech.

Now not so much.

I agree. It’s disgusting that we are lectured to self-censor because some obscurantist Islamist nutjob might come along and take umbrage leading to mass murder because one or more of these benighted galoots has been offended.

Yes, there is a responsibility with free speech. . .but it is an issue of personal regulation in line with the constraints of virtue and good taste. .NOT GOVERNMENT CONTROL.

These idiots are honorary Muslims. The word Islam means SUBMISSION and these clowns are more then willing to submit to anything in order not to offend Muhammed or Allah.

I’m sure they have no qualms about insulting Jesus Christ or ridiculing Christians but because they fear Islam more than Christ, they will submit.

The only way to fight radical islam is not to give an inch.

NO, NO, NO... RADICAL MUSLIMS MAY NOT KILL PEOPLE WHO EXPRESS IDEAS THEY DON'T LIKE. PERIOD.

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE AN INCH. IF WE DO GIVE IN - THE NEXT 'OFFENSIVE' WRITING WILL BE THE BIBLE.

They hate us and kill us.

And we’re supposed bend over backwards to a mass murdering bunch of savages?

As long as I have freedom of speech, I’m not going to shut up and refrain from saying what’s on my mind.

Especially about Islam. I have no intention of being politically correct about it as liberals and Muslim apologists appear to demand.

Free speech, according to the left belongs only to them. Curtailing speech is ok as long as it is not liberal speech. In the case of Islam, they are in many ways on the same side as the libs; wishing for the destruction of civilization. Each wishes this so that they can use this destruction and chaos to put them at the top of the food chain.

A few months ago these same journalists were jumping on the 'hand up don't shoot' bandwagon.

No sale.

We gave Muslims a chance in Iraq and Afghanistan to join modern civilization, and both chose to remain 8th century islamic Shiite holes. Screw ‘em. The bombing starts in 5 minutes.

We cannot control the behavior of another, but we can take an honest look at our part. We urge all Americans to do the same. Just because we can, does not mean we should.

Yeah, bite me.

If there is no one on the other side, there is no reason for a bridge.

If there is no one there, there is no reason to fret about coexisting

There is no need to co exist with sworn enemies
