I have to say....all the people that keep yippin about how the Muslims are provoked into their actions. WHAT. Ya, maybe they are ****ed off about some dumb ass comment made. So WHAT.... That gives them no right what so ever to commit any violent acts...period. They want to protest about the comments fine...freedom of speech....all the power to them....but don't go around inciting hate.

It is the same Danish Cartoon ugliness all over again.
Here is a comment on Captain's Quarters blog. I quote is because he is far more eloquent.
"Muslims are not interested in a Socratic dialogue, such as the kind proposed by Benedict in his speech, if one actually bothered to read it. They completely reject any notion of critical thinking when it comes to their doctrines, their laws, and their beliefs. They can make all the comments they want about Jews being descended from pigs and monkeys and the "polytheism" of Christians, but if anyone utters a word of scholarly criticism about Islam, the murders begin until someone admits that Islam is better than any other faith.
This drips with irony -- because Benedict spoke about
precisely this impulse in his speech. It's conversion or submission by the sword all over again. "
end quote.
Just remember about the cartoons. Mohammed has been painted for centuries with not even a peep. Then a Imam added 4-5 cartoons to the Danish ones (to make them more insulting) and starts riots 2 months after the fact.
We are talking about a very backward culture.
(If you add up all the deaths in Iraq and multiply them by 100 you don't reach the number of dead in Sudan killed by Muslims. And that is the Christians....didn't even get started with the Dafur "black" Muslims)
