I agree with that.
My only point is that they have the right to be outraged and offended.
Some would deny them even that by saying they should just let it go or words to that effect, very similar to what was told to every Christian who was outraged by Serrano's "art".
"If the Arabs want to boycott Danish products, that is their right. There are those of us who will go out of our way to buy them."
Absolutely. They do need to understand the "market place of ideas": they will not get their way by burning embassies etc. trying to bully others to accept their ideas at the end of a stone or molotov.
No. I am not "speaking for myself, of course".
There is little difference in the situations.
Islam has peaceful believers who build hospitals and schools, also.
So your point is what?
All I said is they have a right to be outraged.
I further said they did not have a right to burn and pillage...same thought, different words.
Now what exactly is your problem with that?
