"Because the Osama lovers publishes hateful lies and slander we should do the same?" Those "Osama lovers" include the government of Egypt and many of our other "staunch allies". Those "Osama lovers" are just reading the Koran. It's all in their and the various Hadiths and "works" like the Reliance of the Traveler.

Of import is the response Christians and Jews have to religous insults. We may send strongly worded letters or hold peaceful protests, but we do not KILL and THREATEN TO MURDER people over it. That's the difference between civilization and barbarism. Muslims are allways offended and always aggrieved over something.

Wrongo. I know MEMRI. They monitor MidEastern broadcasts and publications. Some of them are from terrorists. Most of them are from Arab/Iranian governments. The principle concern of these regimes is to stay in power by printing anti-US and Israel propaganda and using the guise of Islam to turn their populous' attention away from the corruption and despotism of the government. In fact, a lot of the rulers in these states aren't even religious. They use jihad as a veil to hide their ture intention, staying in power and enriching themselves at the cost of their people. They could be Confucius and they would still spout the same hate and terror because they need to stay in power. They aren't doing it because of the Koran. They are doing it because if they don't, the peiople will see what they really are and overthrow them.

This is no different than the race pimps "blame whitey" routine. It has nothing to do with belief or ideology. It's lust for power and greed, pure and simple.
