Wearing a brown golf cap against the cold drizzle, Rocky Omary stood outside Walima Cafe in Falls Church, where he and about 50 other men of Middle Eastern descent had just watched the Tunisian soccer team take a drubbing from the Nigerians.
That trouncing was bad enough. But Omary had other, more disturbing, insults on his mind: specifically, the recent publication in European newspapers of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist.
(Nikki Kahn - The Washington Post) "I've been getting a lot of e-mails about it, and I'm distributing them all," said Omary, a Damascus native who sells real estate in Northern Virginia. "There is a limit to freedom. There are 1.2 billion Muslims in the world. Let's have some respect."
A few miles away at the All Dulles Area Muslim Society mosque in Sterling, Zaki Al Barzinji, 16, was equally upset.
"Just because you can say something doesn't mean you should say something," the teenager said. "If somebody showed a picture of the Pope with a bomb on his head, that would cause a great public outcry. Nobody would be talking about freedom of speech."

"Technically, you have the right to walk into a crowded theater and yell 'Fire,' " said Uzma Unus, 34, a teacher in Sterling who is also vice president of ADAMS. "But is that responsible?"
This person is a teacher? If she is an naturalized citizen, I don't understand how she passed the test.
No. You don't understand his reply.
Evidently you do. What would the outcry be?
I've seen pictures of the pope with a huge beer stein.
I laughed.
Muslims cannot stomach truth.
I didn't say that I did. I just suggested you ask him about it before assuming the worst.
Many Americans have guns.
Europeans do not.
I can see how Muslims might get upset at the depiction of Muhammed, how they might even protest. But what I don't see and can't accept is the way that they're protesting. Burning embassies and threatening mass murder, kidnappings, and beheadings; why would they expect Westerners to respond any way but negatively to that?
"Many Americans have guns.
Europeans do not."
Many Europeans are brain dead then.
"Let them Protest as is their right, but boys, start getting stupid and rioting and a case of whoopass will be opened up on you so fast it will make your turban spin."(Leatherneck_MT)
I'll second that. If TROP tries any of that s*** they've been pulling in other places like Australia and Denmark, I will not be idley standing by, that's for sure. I've had it with the islamic death cult bastards. We stood down on 9/11, never again. They don't belong here and I'd like to show them the door.
There is not one word, one coma one period that I disagree with. You are 100% correct. Now the question is how do we win the war? Suggestions please.
Put some ice on it Muslims.
Europe has been emasculated.

Amen brother, Amen
By all means. What caliber would you like it in?
Or perhaps most of us are armed and getting tired of taking their endless crap.
I'll do that. I never assume the worst..
You idiot!
Being 16 is no excuse, specially living in a civilized country.
I would laugh at such an image. And I'm Catholic!
Muslim insane logic must be genetic, as well as their abject stupidity!
There was a great public outcry when BAM had the Maplethorp exhibit. Unfortunately, the outcry was to let it proceed. Everybody was talking about freedom of speech.
Why don't you Google the name of Jesus and see what kind of cartoons, photos, statues, etc have been "showed" all across America and the world.
And Christians have burned how many embassys in return?
Get real Muzzies. We know how this story will end.
Well---I think I would start finding out where all the AK47 bullets, plastic explosives and rpg rounds are coming from. I watch the mohammadian lunatics firing their guns in the air...20...30 rounds at a time. It seems like they have an endless cheap supply. Maybe its time to bomb the bullet, explosive and rpg factories....wherever they are.
Could be some in downtown Paris???
