Kill 'em all and start with a new generation of Muslims. Maybe they will like us.

Think about it. Indonesia has nearly 200 million Muslims, and the city of Jakarta has over 10 million people --- most of them Muslim. Jakarta is bigger than New York or Los Angeles. There were only 10,000 people who took part in this rally --- less than 0.001 percent of the Muslim population in that city and 0.00001 percent of the Muslims in Indonesia.

To characterize the entire nation based on a photograph designed to exaggerate crowd size and the accompanying text that does not put the size of this demonstration into perspective, I'd suggest that maybe the feeling of the faculty lounge at Berkeley University could be characteristic of the American mood.

Don’t buy these crap stories. If the Muslim extremists in Jakarta can only get 10k out for their rally, they don’t have any support.
