"Now we have people on this very website encouraging newspapers to print the cartoons. The only reason I can think of they'd want that is to egg Muslims on, hoping that they'll riot so the cowboys will have an excuse to bash some heads."

"This very site," eh?

Well maybe JUST maybe the cartoons are evoking some hard "news" that necessitate an explanation for massive rioting and setting embassies on fire.

Funny how the liberal rags had no problem "egging on" leftists by publishing picture after picture, week after week of Abu Gahrib -- wasn't it?

Your Muslim apologist pro-censorship slant is odd, but predictable.

"Any straight males condemn the guy who tore up the gay bar in Massachusetts and injured people?"

Your posts are getting more absurd by the day.

Not to mention LOTS of Americans with guns...

Exactly. Thank God for the Second Amendment. Without it, these snivelling murderous liars would be threatening us in our own cities right now.

Unity is very important and there's nothing like a threat from outside to strengthen the inside. Let's hope we all recognize the threat.

Up here in Michigan, largest collection of muslims in North America, we are a shall carry state. So, as the old saying goes, an armed society is a polite society.

Why did you come in the first place?

These camel humpers came here because they got tired of eating sand; too much fiber. And don't like being hacked up.

The Islamokazis don't walk on eggs to keep from offending us.

"Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Muslims are going to do. Some of you always seem to think they are suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what they are going to do."

The next time someone asks you what good your 2nd. Amendments rights are. Point out what is happening in Europe, and places that dont have them.

This is why the UN wants to take away those rights , so we are at the mercy of whoever wants to destroy us.

You havent seen anything out of the UN about Chavez buying 100,000 AK-47's have you??

“But they still feel the same about this issue and are very angry.” Siblani blasted the cartoons as proof of Western insensitivity to Islam and double standards in dealing with the Muslim world. “The other day the president of Iran made a statement about the Holocaust and the whole world condemned him,” he said. “Here you have a statement offending 1.3bn people around the world. Why don’t we see condemnation?”

Why don't WE see condemnation of the vile anti-Semetic 'cartoons' published by Muslim media outlets in the Middle East? (Internet's a bitch, isn't it?) It's okay to mock Israel and its people in Muslim cartoons, but when the table is turned, you Muslims squeal like...well, pigs.

By the way...great point about guns...Americans are NOT 'euro-weenies', and the Muslims KNOW it. Nothing worse than armed to the teeth Americans with a bad attitude.

The offspring of Ishmael are trully out of their mind!

Gen 16:11 And the Angel of the Lord said to her: "Behold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, Because the Lord has heard your affliction. 12 He shall be a wild man; His hand shall be against every man, And every man's hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."

So how big is your 'Islam -- the Religion of Peace' tattoo?

At one time you at least used to make some sense.

"D-mmit, these American infidels have too many guns, otherwise we could do what we do best!"

Bingo! The more I read this crap about terrorists, I go to the range more frequently. But the wife says I'm spending too much money on new "toys" and ammo.

EVERY government has condemned the photos. Where has this guy been! It's just that no one is going to shut down the papers and punish the artists.

Rioting over cartoons is silly, but so is going out of one's way to piss someone else off!!

The reason this is important is that, you don't have to "go out of your way to piss off" the moslems. All you have to do is live your life anywhere near them without being one of them. These cartoons were apparently published last Fall and nobody gave a crap. Now, for some reason, the moslems have decided to dredge them up and make a worldwide issue of them. Doesn't that cause you to wonder what is going on? I seriously doubt we'd have burning consulates just because some cartoonist in Denmark had "bad manners." Who actually IS "egging the muslims on?"

"Any straight males condemn the guy who tore up the gay bar in Massachusetts and injured people?"

" The difference being that this is being done in the name of their religion, and it's not just a handful of people."

Not only that, but it was ONE person.

Drawing an analogy to what the Muslims have just done, and this isolated incident only reinforce Sinky's jumping the shark looong ago.

Ask yourself would the drawer of this cartoon have Muslims for dinner and repeat in a verbal way the message of the cartoon?

Why not? The cartoons basically ask why Muslims have tolerated terrorists. It is a serious question, and the right people could hold a serious discussion around the dinner table.

Good manners are required in a workable, civil society.

No, good manners are DESIRED - but not required, for a workable, civil society. It just requires the emotional maturity to save taking offense for matters that require it.

There was nothing wrong with the cartoon showing an arab face with a bomb in the turban. Anyone who considers that justification for killing is not stable enough to be allowed to roam free in a workable, civil society.

You mean you weren't surprised either? I've noticed a pattern.
