Islam is an army disguised as a religion.

Islamic tradition explicitly prohibits any depiction of Allah and the Prophet.

This article continues to keep the LIE going. The Quran does NOT prohibit pictures of Mohammad and in fact, there are many early pictures of Mohammad.

The concept that Islam prohibits depictions of Mohammad is a recent.... i.e not traditional view.

"Whether an extremist or a moderate or an ultra-moderate, we will condemn it."

Condemning the cartoons is quite acceptable, feel free to do it.

Condemning the cartoonists to death is quite a different story. The suppression of free speech is something we feel strongly about.

At least 12 people died in demonstrations last week against the cartoons in Afghanistan.

Riots that were instigated by Pakistanis.

41 Pakistanis detained in Zabul

KABUL: Afghan authorities have arrested more than 40 Pakistani workers for inciting violence during a protest against cartoons of Prophet Mohammed in which four people were killed, an official said Thursday. The men were arrested with their Arab boss in Qalat in southern Zabul province where police opened fire to quell rampaging demonstrators Wednesday. “The protests were supposed to be peaceful. But we have proof that these men were involved in turning it to violence,” said provincial spokesman Gulab Shah Alikhil. Alikhil said 16 of the 41 arrested men had confessed to having had a “hand in violating the protests”. All would go on trial, he said. The Arab boss was a Saudi national, he said.

"Death to America"?? Darn, they ended up at the wrong protest again. Oh, well, never waste a crowd, they always say.

chanted "Death to America"

Always, even though we had nothing to do with any of it. For which I'm greatly ashamed.
