Smile, Allah hates you, Judeo-Zionist-Crusader infidel pigs and monkeys!
Aggrieved Muslims are astir, ostensibly venting their outrage over a series of cartoons published in an obscure Danish newspaper that were deemed disrespectful of the Prophet Mohammed. The current riots are reminiscent of last years violent eruptions in response to a false allegation that an American soldier at the Guantanamo Bay detention center had flushed the Koran of a prisoner down a toilet, riots that claimed 16 lives.
Allegedly moderate Muslims who have appeared in the media to air the purported voice of reason, have tempered their criticisms of the riots with reprimands against the Western press. They warn that such unnecessary acts of provocation (meaning the aforementioned cartoons) only serve to make it more difficult for Westerners to win the hearts and minds of moderate Muslims.
Then you read the sources many of the Mideasts Muslims read. Consider, for instance, just a handful of published cartoons extremely offensive to Jews that sparked not the faintest whisper of rebuke in the Muslim world. All of the following may be seen on the Palestinian Media Watch website:
Other recent cartoons alternately depict Israel as a large green alligator that eats Palestinians (October 9, 2003); a pitchfork-wielding Satan (March 22, 2000); an octopus with a star of David on its head, reaching up from its murky swamp to grab a dove with one of its tentacles (April 17, 2000); a rat (with a Star of David on its head) gorging itself on a block of cheese that represents the Arab world (August 1, 2001); a worm eating the sacred scrolls of Islamic scripture (July 25, 2003); and the lice on an Arabs headdress (April 23, 2003).
These are but a few examples of the type of disrespectful, venomous garbage that gets published all over the Islamic world on a daily basis. The targets are always non-Muslims mostly Jews and Christians. Muslim culture does not even bat a proverbial eyelash when its own publications, many of which represent the officially sanctioned views of Islamic governments, print such things. But when an outlet of a Western nations free press dares independently of any governmental endorsement or instruction to print a cartoon that Muslims may find offensive, all hell breaks loose.
What makes this especially ironic is the fact that the Islamic world generally treats the symbols of other religions with great contempt. Recall, for instance, when the Taliban in 2001 used tanks, explosives, and anti-aircraft weapons to destroy all of Afghanistans ancient religious icons that were not of a Muslim nature, the most notable being two colossal sculptures of Buddha (175 feet and 120 feet high, respectively) that had been cut, probably in the third and fifth centuries A.D., into tall, sandstone cliffs.
In Pakistan, Muslim rioters have often driven Christians from their villages, burned their homes, and razed their churches. In February 1996 in Egypt, a mob of 10,000 Muslim youths pillaged and burned three Christian villages in the Nile Delta; such abominations have occurred many times there. In Kuwait, conversion to Christianity is a crime punishable by death. Over the past two decades, Sudans Muslim government (which has made it a crime to convert to Christianity) has bombed, burned, and looted many of the countrys Christian villages, capturing and selling into slavery countless thousands of the inhabitants including women and children. In Saudi Arabia, possession of a Bible may result in arrest, deportation, or in some cases execution; the Saudi government desecrates and burns all Bibles that its security forces confiscate at immigration points or during raids on Christian expatriates during their private worship services. Saudi Arabia also bans the importation or the display of crosses, Stars of David, or any other non-Muslim religious symbols. Indonesia, Nigeria, and Iran too are rife with anti-Christian hatred.
The multiculturalists of the West have encouraged radical Muslims to preserve their culture in Western nations. Now we are re-learning that tremulous appeasement cannot purchase the goodwill of those intent on crushing infidels as evidenced by the deadly arsons and riots that erupted all over France last November, when angry Muslims turned their wrath on the land that had made multiculturalism its highest ideal. We are not engaged in a cultural dialogue in which we may seek to try to understand our would-be murderers; we are engaged in a protracted struggle for the survival of our way of life. The Islamists and the appeasenik leftists are on the wrong side.
Hypocrisy thy name is Islam!
Did anyone just hear the report about lasers being shot at planes from an area in Dearborn, Michigan? Dearborn has one of this country's largest Muslim populations.

I just hope the West wakes up before it's too late. We need to start fighting now. Time to "take up the Cross" as the Crusaders' put it.
I say Jimmuh Carter goes first. He started this mess.
I already know that Satan hates me.
