Did the good Mr. Crocker ever consider that perhaps the majority of Americans just may not have any respect for what Muslims claim as religious beliefs? He doesn't speak for this American.

[Peach]

He doesn't speak for me either. (Check my tagline)

[BenLurkin]

Mindless censorship is unacceptable in our cultural tradition.

[conservative physics]

speak for yourself Crocker!@

islam can kiss my ass!

[Westlander]

Crocker is nuts. How many people have died because of the crazed moozies.

The NYT doesn't seem to have or need any "press responsibility" when it comes to disclosing national security operations.

I don't believe anyone will accuse me of being an Islam lover. But what else can an ambassador to Pakistan say?

An Elizabethan official once defined an ambassador as "Someone who lies abroad for his country."

Doesn't the Condi have a job for this clown that more suitably meets his abilities - like maybe fetching her snacks at tomorrow's game?

[Dallas59]

Well....look where he's at....He's gotta keep his head...

Publishing cartoons = hateful, threatening to annihilate the western world = peaceful. It is past time to deport ALL peoples of ME background, or muslim faith that are not citizens. Declare islam as a group like the KKK, and let those that hang on to it to march in Skokie.

In the local paper, a judge had told a woman to remove her scarf, or leave the courtroom, because of a ban on hats. She refused, and was removed. Now the judge has apologized, and will rethink the ban on "religious grounds". I think I will wear my Seahawk hat next time I go in to court, I believe in them. They define my sundays, and without it, I feel naked.

“These cartoons do not reflect in anyway the views of the American people towards Islam.”

He had better speak for himself and leave the American people out of it.

I think every paper in this country should re publish them.

[aimhigh]

First, they came for the cartoons..

Then they came for the liquer stores..

Then they came for the women without headcoverings..

Then they came for ...

Most ambassadors are political appointees on an extended vacation to the country of their choice, living at taxpayer expense. I doubt half of them can even speak the language of the nation they are in.

[uncbob]

The only thing acceptable is so called art degrading Christin beliefs in the USA

[George - the Other]

"These cartoons do not reflect in anyway the views of the American people towards Islam.”

Such B.S.

[AliVeritas]

Me neither.

That's funny too, because NY just gave permission from Muslim and Jewish symbols to be used in public schools but not a nativity scene. It must be me. I wouldn't be surprised if the Quran makes it to the public schools before any prayer (much less a bible), gets there.

[Founding Father]

Hey Mr Ambassador----Pizzonya!!

[mfulstone]

Unacceptable? Yeah, right...

[JoJo Gunn]

Mr. Crock Of doesn't speak for me either.

[sheik yerbouty]

What a Crock!

[lilylangtree]

Speak for yourself Crocker but don't presume to talk for the average American.
