Where do we draw the line on your freedom of speech and hurting my feelings and principles and irritating the hell out of me? Let us know when you are leaving and we'll know where to draw the line.
By the way, reading this article, it dawned on me where the expression "poobah" might have come from: pbuh....?

Fear of reprisals...For rioting, arson, assault, murder, threat-making, destruction of property, et al?
You betcha.
For writing non-threatening letters to the editor, cancelling your newspaper subscription, peaceful demonstration, et al?
Nope.

Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable.
Wrong answer, Kurt. Incitement is regrettable. Becoming religiously or ethnically VIOLENT ... because of a cartoon in a free press .... is unacceptable.

Any US muslims condemn the violence? Didn't think so.
To: lancer
Integration, eh? Is that why muslims in Detroit (or "Mecca in Michigan" as I call it) were celebrating in their localities after 9/11?

"Fear of reprisals and the fact that the offending cartoons have not been reprinted in any major US newspapers may also have contributed to the lack of street protests and violence..."
You bet the fear of American citizens wielding superior firepower and burning their mosques to ground cause them to be restrained.

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 dont we see condemnation? Is this rationalist wh*&^ comparing the murder of six million citizens of European countries with a cartoon?

Tempered reaction among US Muslims to the row over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) can be attributed to...my second amendment rights, which I am not afraid to use.

"Consider the following. If you say something negative about Joseph Smith or Brigham Young, the Mormons wont threaten to kill you. If you malign Moses, Orthodox rabbis wont issue a fatwah against you. If you insult Jesus, in a painting or play, youre likely to get a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Its only the apostles of the Religion of Peace who are ready to whack you for looking cross-eyed at their beloved prophet."

State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in answer to a question.
We all fully recognise and respect freedom of the press and expression, but it must be coupled with press responsibility. Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable.
HOW, is telling the truth..unacceptable?

There is one set of rules for the West and another set for everyone else, he added. Where do we draw the line on your freedom of speech and hurting my feelings and principles and irritating the hell out of me? We don't draw that line, numbnuts. And since you morons are so easily manipulated by your demon possessed so-called leaders, stay tuned for a deluge.

"Fear of reprisals and the fact that the offending cartoons have not been reprinted in any major US newspapers may also have contributed to the lack of street protests and violence, they add. 10s of millions of armed Americans might also have a "calming" effect...
It would sure create a "come to Jesus" moment for the "moderate Muslims" in America to choose sides..

Tempered reaction among US Muslims to the row over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) can be partly attributed to their integration into American society, community leaders say. Perhaps it's that fact that Muslims in America know better than to f*** with America, and that freedom-loving Americans will kick their asses up, down, and sideways if they start any of their jihad bullshit.
