Sorry to vent but this whole bullshat with this and the cartoon really ticks me off how the western world are taking a very Spanish (Spain not South America etc) approach and bending over and taking it from a group of malcontent delinquent brats. If you dont like freedom of speech or equality among the sexes simply say so - dont disguise it as some bs religious garbage. If Al-Jazeera was to show a Christian being be-headed (oops alredy happened) or a cartoon with Jesus holding a bomb I wouldnt care cause my beliefs are based on faith and not golden calfs.

the article states how popular valentine's day is getting over there. Obviously that means this is a small group of traditionalists, not some widespread anti-west movement. And if you want to whine about people using religion as an excuse for bigotry, there's plenty of people right here in the good old west to whine about too.
