More upset about a cartoon than a beheaded social worker.

That's what bothers me. I want to respect the religion ... for that to happen, the moderates need to show that they can beat the radicals down in the "truthing" department. Who really represents Islam? Those who bring death? Don't tell us that Islam is a religion of peace ... tell it to the muslim brothers who have the bloody machetes in their hands.
How is what I posted "rude" or an "over statement"?

The Clinton Administration did a good job of keeping everyone in the dark as to what or why he did what he did with foreign policy. He was able to draw attention to himself and away from some mistakes he probably made...but he was a decent president.

I know muslims who don't go out blowing shit up, I know there are moderate muslims, etc....Where the fuck are they over in Iran and Iraq and Saudi Arabia

It's not so much the religion but the CULTURE that fucks things up...things that are done over there have been done since the dawn of time.

You know of any Christian martyrs in history?....I know of a couple and they didn't go down swinging, they turned the other cheek and let their persecuters do their worst.

Then again the Catholic church did some evil stuff, but I think we can look back on this terror and compare it to the Inquisition.
