Your comment is very funny, but it may also be accurate. Wouldn't it be strange if cartoons finally made the world realize what these people really are? I really don't know how they are going to make themselves victims over a bunch of cartoons. I suppose all world wars have had a tipping point that is not nearly so dramatic as the war itself, but I doubt that it has ever been anything so nonviolent as a cartoon.

Now will Denmark, France, Italy and other civilized countries put a stop to the destruction of their culture?

Nice touch - using green for muslims.

Way to go, DALLAS!

Color coded to reflect the different religions too!

Wait, why are the pedophile worshiping muslims the only ones who attack embassies?


There has to be a mistake./s

wow you actually saw coverage of this chaos? all I could find on my FIVE 24-hour news stations was reports about :

MLK's wife's funeral
Some guy who shot a gay guy somewhere
A bus had an accident somewhere
Oh, and talk and commentary about upcoming super bowl commercials!


*rolls eyes*

They were reporting from Beruit and said a Christian neighborhood so I think they had not left that general region.

I've come to the conclusion that this has to be some extended weird dream on my part. No way the muslims are this nuts. Not even they could act this irrationally and stupidly. I mean they couldn't possibly be so backwards as to recall ambassadors, boycott countries, and set embassies on fire because of a couple silly cartoons by one obscure cartoonist were published in one newspaper months ago, could they? Nobody could be that crazy.

I guess that the Syrian and the Iranian regimes are putting gasoline of the fires. Buses from many parts of Lebanon and from Syria were used to transport thugs and banners to Beirut.

Signs about extermination and beheading would not go over well here in North Georgia. Not well at all.

Nor here among the swamps- wife keeps a 12 gauge riot gun in the trunk for "those times a pistol is not enough..."

"I guess that the Syrian and the Iranian regimes are putting gasoline of the fires. Buses from many parts of Lebanon and from Syria were used to transport thugs and banners to Beirut."

Of course. The best way for a repressive government to stay in power is to find ways to focus the anger of their citizens outwards.

Demonstrators...demonstrators are the people protesting with pickets and signs...these people are far beyond demonstrators. These people are going around beating the crap out of people. Something needs to be done about it.

[DUMBGRUNT]

This is something that national patriotism hasn't been able to complete.

Our national patriotism been made very weak from thousands of body blows coming from the left and the one world secular clergy.

The thugs in Beirut climbed up each flight of the stairwell of the consulate building and set fire to each floor. FOX said that when they got to the top floor, having burned all of the lower floors, they had to be rescued by the embassy guards. They are so incredibly (insert own adjective here) stupid - they didn't know that if they burned the lower floors first they'd be stuck on the top floor!?!?!

That is pretty damn funny, lol!
