Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
* Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage. * Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage. * A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage. * Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage. * Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage * Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage. * Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Come on, is this really about cartoons? They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. You don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. When, though, do they become outraged? When do they take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"
Indeed. Why not?
love Boortz
Islam is the Religion of Peace.
Mooselims are outrageous!!! Roll Tide.
Say it like it is, brother!
It is a classic example, how these reprobate freaks can complain, after the world clearly understands what total undesireables they are...let them stew, let them complain, let them vanish back to the sub-human third world from which their sick minds come from.
I remember that Rusdie article, it was great...I'll try to find it, or can someone quicker than me post it?
What else needs to be said?
He nails it once again.
CN had an article on the Muslim outrage...and they will not republish the cartoon "out of respect for Islam"
But it;s okay for Al-Jazeera to and CNN to show flag burnings?
It's okay for Al-Jazeera to show American bodies hanging from a bridge in Iraq.
It's okay for the NYT to publish National Security policy?
Gimme an EFFing break.

It's hard for people to jump on the "Not all Muslims are terrorists or terrorist sympathizers" bandwagon when the moderate Muslims never organize and speak out.
Silence equals consent.
Going in the 'freeper keeper' file!!
Mooselimbs are upset? So What!
"I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims."
Great article except for that line. A bow to the PC crowd. You know: Diversity and multiculturalism. All cultures are equal, and no one culture or religion is better than any other.
BS! There are cultures and religions that ARE superior to others. It's the nature of the world. And I think the terrorists DO represent a majority of muslims. They are complicit in their silence.
Don't water down a great article by kow towing at the end Neil.
bttt
that about sums the situation up.
They are the terrible two year olds of the civilized world, and Uncle Sam needs to administer a little attitude adjustment
With the exception of 'firing guns into the air', this sounds like many liberals, too.
