It won’t make them hate us any more. Hell, a couple of years ago they were literally driven to suicidal violence over CARTOONS. It’ll always be something. Trying to appease muslim sensibilities through overblown sensitivity is a fool’s errand. I don’t particularly like the Koran burning thing but the right response is to shrug indifferently, cite our principle of free speech, and move on, rather than get all culturally self-critical and show weakness to the Muslims.

Agree with your post — ‘they’ would not be satisfied until every last NON-Muslim of any other religion was wiped off the face of the earth so yeah, cite the First Amendment in this country and if they are scandalized by cartoons or Koran burnings or rules re dress codes while working at Disneyland — TOUGH!
