Sound like Tom Daschle constituents.
These bastards don't care one whit for free speech, freedom of religion, or anything resembling tolerance. They're playing the little morality game they learned from the mewling Marxist Left.
islam is stupid. Every aspect of this absurdity in it's present form is beneath the contempt of a rational person. This is my opinion. Others are entitled to theirs. It's called freedom. Deal with it.
Be sure to read the "fan" mail LGF operative "zombie" has gotten from The Alleged Religion of Peace about his picture archive:

As long as islam acts contemptible, islam will be held in contempt.
Yes, exactly correct. They are.
Now what?
I view the mocking of religion as my one sacred duty.
here is an example of todays comments in the OC Register:

Cartoon reactions are intended to intimidate
The Southern California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations communications director Sabiha Khan's justification for Muslim outrage over cartoons is a bit twisted ["Cartoons seen as signs of contempt," The Orange Grove, Feb. 20].
She says that Muslims are for free speech and would be "the first to fall victim" if that right were curtailed. But, ironically, she ignores that most of the violent protests take place in Muslim countries where "free speech" is guaranteed only if it agrees with sharia law.
These cartoons initially appeared in a Danish, non-Muslim newspaper - they weren't air-dropped over Mecca. Virtually no one would know they had existed if radical Muslim leaders hadn't used them, months later, to inflame their excitable followers. The only "hate" generated by these cartoons has come from radical Muslims who seek to intimidate the West through fear.
Ask the late filmmaker Theo van Gogh how far some Muslims will go to censor any criticism of Islam. To paraphrase Khan, those who criticize Islam also have a right to live in dignity - without fear of annihilation.

Educate the rioters
Sabiha Khan thinks we need a DVD on the life of Muhammad as a "positive response to the controversy over the offensive cartoons." Perhaps the most effective use of CAIR's propaganda and public-relations campaign would be to educate the tens of thousands of rioting Muslims around the world.
Maybe their DVD, mosque open houses, panel discussions and essay contests would help curtail the Muslims in Sukkur who burned a church, not over the cartoons, but over "allegations that a local Christian had burned pages of Islam's holy book, the Quran" ["Pakistan arrests hundreds of rioters," News, Feb. 20]. Even if we try to understand the political and religious reasons for the reactions of Muslims to the cartoons, these inhumane reactions are unacceptable and the cause of negative Western perceptions of Islam.

LOL Iam ROFLMAO
hehe ok I'll do that next time, hated to post an run, but had to hit the sack, I get up early for work.
in the entire article not once any mention of the insulting nasty cartoons aimed at the Jews,just we have to understand mooslims,and their feelings.
Divine providence is the excuse they use to perform their atrocities. Once you say "God's will" you are capable of anything, with bad results depending on what those in power say God's will is (according to their personal agenda), and how many people they can get to believe them.
Every religion has its lunatic fringe (remember the Christian abortion clinic bombers?). The problem is that Islam's fringe seems to be a large portion of the area of the cloth.
The Christian Science Monitor had a good story on this, saying it's not so much about religion or being offended, just an excuse for the usual riots due to poverty, oppression, etc. And as usual someone convinced them that we are the source of their problems.
Islam is the religion of lies as demonstrated by their conduct.
The play victim on persecuted and chop off the heads of the innocent.
They do outcry over cartoons but still ridicule christianity and the eeeevil JOOOOOZE.
CAIR is a terror useful idiot group at best or complicit and active participants at worse.
The largest joke in politics is calling islam a "Religion of Peace"
I'm not. A religion is in a sad state if its member's can't take a joke. But I think what makes them most mad is that this joke points out a nasty truth about much of Islam.
There are, but they're rare. Abortion doctor murders and clinic bombings on the murder side. On the riot side, I can't remember one since Philadelphia in the 1800s. Friction between the majority Protestants and new new wave of Catholics was building. The Catholics didn't like the KJV being read to their kids in school, and wanted their Bible for their kids instead (or remove Bible reading altogether). They were effectively ignored and tensions grew worse, rumors started, and the Protestants organized campaigns against the Catholics. This culminated in a fight where a Protestant anti-Catholic campaigner shot a Catholic, and it got worse from there. The Catholics fought them off, Protestants sent reinforcements, and it was eventually a fully-blown riot. It was followed by several other riots and mobs over the next few days that resulted in several deaths, two burned churches, several sacked or burned houses and burned or looted businesses. The militia finally put it down, but Protestant a riot flared up again later with several killed as the militia put it down.
