Just where is it written -- in the Constitution, the Bible or the Quran -- that there is a right to never ever be offendedá
As best I could tell, by week's end the Review-Journal was one of only four U.S. newspapers to print one or more of the dozen Danish editorial cartoons that recently ignited rioting and assorted mayhem in several Islamic nations, even though they were first published back in September. Apparently, it took a couple of imams out on a hatemongering concert tour to whip up a frenzy of hooliganism.
Several editors at a New York newspaper quit Wednesday when upper management pulled an article that included copies of the cartoons.

That pretty much says it all.
My granddaughter will not have to wear a Burka, no matter who I have to shoot to prevent it.
Of course in a few years, she'll be able to do the shooting herself. Knowing her, she would too. :)
What's important is how we react to being offended. Do we write an indignant letter to the editor? Or do we commit mass murder?
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Jews of the Roman province of Judaea precipitated the revolt that led to their utter downfall by taking offense at an obscene gesture made by a Roman soldier in the Temple area. Of course they were dealing with the Romans, who couldn't have cared less about the sensitivities of the people they had conquered. On the other hand, these Muslim rioters are playing on the fact that Western society is both tolerant and good. Only under those circumstances can any appeal to human sensibilities have any effect. If we were the Romans, we'd have crushed them like ants.

This war of cultures, the west will win.
Radical Islam will be driven underground again. Middle east Oil money fuels the war for them.
By 2040 ME oil will be a commodity like coal, still needed in certain applications, but not vital to our survival or security.
The oil sheiks can go back to kissing their camels for entertainment
Bravo to the gutsy Las Vegas Review-Journal editor, Thomas Mitchell, for telling the story of the cartoon riot insanity as it is. It's too bad there aren't more US newspaper editors with his moxie.
No "shining city on a hill" optimism?
i am optimistic that i will not be there to see it and will die to defeat it, but the way of liberalness leads me to think so...
i pray i am wrong...
as for the glass being half full or empty i cannot say... because i keep spilling it.
