Newsweek is apparently not backing off this story. Whether the story is entirely accurate or not isn't as important as the disproportionate spectacle the Muslim world is making out of this. I'm not going to get upset at Newsweek just because Muslims can't stop themselves from acting like barbarians. Yet no one of prominence among the political class can admit that the world's problems have anything to do with Islam.
What I am upset about Newsweek about is their printing of something which appears to be false. This is one reason that I wouldn't spend a nickel on their magazine, ever. I could really care less that they upset the Muslim populace but I do care that they put our troops and civilian contractors in increased danger because of what appears to be a lie. People need to be aware that Islam is a radical religion and this article and reaction just goes to show how radical it is. Our government officials treat it like a ticking time bomb (hands off) and that certainly doesn't help matters. Pat Robertson is one man who isn't afraid of calling a spade a spade in regards to Islam and we should be attentive to what he has to say.
