The self hating muslims have accurately assessed the value of islamic culture and found it worthless. They are touchy on this subject because they themselves are the principle component of the worthless culture.

It is a truly odd psychosis.

Why are they so offended?

They're offended for the same fundamental reason that a whole bunch of us conservatives are offended.

The modern world doesn't accept the beliefs they've had all their life, from infancy to adulthood.

I'm offended for the same reasons: PResident Obama has attacked and derided my fundamental beliefs in our justice and legal system, as based on our U.S. Constitution, that this Constitution is the basis of the laws we have today, establishing certain rights and freedoms, that he trashes every day through merely ignoring it and its precedents and/or authoring executive orders in contradiction to its specific language.

But I don't go around rioting, raping, and murdering people because of his actions.

Because their “prophet” was an idiot they’re inclined to follow suit.

The standard line. Yawn!

It leaves out the fact that the brief tolerant periods of Islam, like the middle of the Islamic occupation of what had been the kingdom of the Visigoths, were the exceptions and coincided with periods when the Caliphs or other Muslim princes were pragmatic and not particularly pious Muslims, and that the “Golden Age” of Andalusia was destroyed not by the Reconquista, but by the Almohad Caliphate whose religious fervor revived vigorous persecution of Christians and Jews, and from whom the Western Europeans learned the idea of making heresy a capital crime — before that in both East and West Christians followed the Greek fathers who wrote urgently against the execution of heretics.

And, just as the Almohads killed off Islamic tolerance, the universal Muslim rejection of the Islamic Aristotelianism of Avicenna and Averroes in favor of the occasionalism of Ghazali — the piously Muslim ontological position that every event happens by the direct will of Allah — killed of Islamic science.

They’re not offended; they’re opportunists. Islam is a war plan.

Modernity requires the willingness to be offended.

What concept is more modern than the normality of homosexuality? Yet they are as intolerant as Moslems, just less numerous. And just as intolerant to any effort at "conversion."

"The ambivalence toward modernity that torments Muslims is unlikely to abate. The temptations of the West have alienated a younger generation from its elders. Men and women insist that they revere the faith as they seek to break out of its restrictions. Freedom of speech, granting license and protection to the irreverent, is cherished, protected and canonical in the Western tradition. Now Muslims who quarrel with offensive art are using their newfound freedoms to lash out against it."

A very wise observation I've heard nowhere else. They've been influenced by us so much that they have the freedom to be outraged by the freedom to be outraged.

Because they are too stupid!!!

Yep, I’ll buy that...

What amazes me is that we actually asked for permission to send 50 marines into the Sudanese capitol to our own embassy, qand the government there said NO!...

What I don’t get is why did we even ask...And then not send them in anyway...What do they we think they’ll could do about it???

I believe we should expell every single delegation from our country, that is attacking our facilities within their own borders...And pull every penny of aid to the same...

I bet some of that nonsense will be quelled, if not stopp pretty damn quick...

But then again, I am not a diplomat, so how could I know or understand how it “really” works, I suppose.../sarc
