Muslim outrage exposes deep rifts
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 2/4/06 | Jan Olson

[down near the bottom of the story is the local Silicon Valley reaction]

Imams at mosques across the Bay Area addressed the issue during worship Friday afternoon, asking congregants to "respond in the spirit of Islam,"said Samina Faheem-Sundas, executive director of the American Muslim Voice, a Newark-based non-profit, educational group.

Faheem-Sundas was critical not just of the Danish newspaper that first published the caricatures last year, but also of the Mercury News, for running the story about the furor that resulted, and a photo of one of the caricatures.

Ibrahim said CAIR will step-up its local education campaign about Islam and Muslims, similar to interfaith community dialogues it held last year when it distributed copies of the Koran, Islam's holy book.

That's one of the most despicable things abut Islam today: They use their own atrocities as a recruiting opportunity.

Thanks all.

A perspective on mad propaganda and its warfare branch archetype in the muslim religion:

What if Mohammad invented purposefuly a stupid self-conscious religion on purpose so as to arouse warfare. Any and all reason would keep the people hating or with a ready made excuse for warfare. They act stupid on purpose so as to purposefuly bring critcism on themselves and so as to find any and all excuse for making war. It is an "angry clown" religion. Crusty the psychopath clown and Mohammad are cousins in this respect. It's a big circus, a terrible satanic joke and world embarassment on 1 billion losers.

I am certain many arabs quietly use the muslim religion not as seriously as a blind follower but certainly as a mean to march on in power.

Absolutely.
If you have a ping list, please add me to it.
