The Danish paper that ran the racist cartoons ‘to defend free speech’ refused in 2003 to run satirical cartoons of Christ, saying ‘it would provoke an outrage.’ So much for claims of defending free speech.

I believe they also didn't solicit parodies of Christ. So they get those no matter what, but they had to ask for Mohamed cartoons.

In America, pseudo-historians and professional hate-mongers wage jihad in the US press against all things Islamic.

Yeah, our professional hate-mongers write about the evils of Islam. Meanwhile, the evils of Islam are attempting to blow us up. It is plain to see which of those two is the worst.

There can be no doubt all Muslims and Islam have been gravely offended. But having said this, too many Muslims have been reacting hysterically by rioting and burning embassies. The Prophet Mohamed and Islam don’t need rioters and arsonists to defend them.

And the other problem is that there aren't any saying "hey guys, maybe we should be rational about this." But that isn't really their style. There is no competing message from Islam that this isn't they way they will react to things like this. Or that any part of that religion is trying to join the 21st century.

Muslims suffered 150 years of the most brutal European imperialism and exploitation. Millions of Muslims were slaughtered by European and Russian colonialists, though we never hear about this green holocaust. Europe’s 20 million Muslims are third-class citizens. Muslims have every right to anger.

OK be angry. But constructively try to change things. By rioting, you just reinforce what Europeans think about you already. Why not a little civil disobedience? It worked over here, and America tends to have a little more spine than many of our European counter-parts.

Today, promoting hatred and scorn for Islam and Muslims has become the only socially and legally acceptable modern prejudice in western society.

And this is just plain wrong. No one likes the French, not even the French.

"Muslims have been reacting hysterically by rioting and burning embassies."

Would it be acceptable to fight fire with fire...like a flame thrower aimed at rioters?

Rot -- what brutal european "exploitation"? North Africa was only colonized in the late 1800s into the 1900s. "millions"?? try hundreds in legitimate battles -- they were not made janissaries or castrated or made dhimmis like what happened to Christians in Syria, Egypt, the Balkans etc.

"Millions of Muslims were slaughtered by European and Russian"

So what? Darwin's theory is correct and that is living (or dying) proof survival of the fittest is a true picture of how Islam is not compatable with civilization.

Since they are so hell bent on following Allah and "Mo" millions more of those islamic nitwits are going to be slaughtered. They have little value for their own lives and self worth, let alone the civilized world.

150 years of impinging civilization and they still can't bring themselves to join the human race. Why be sympathetic?
