Here is one of the cartoons the muslim world is torching embassies over.
Muhammed cartoon
Are they taking it too far? Where should the line be drawn between free speech and religion?

I understand them being upset, but there's really nothing they can rightfully do about it.

Religous beliefs should never infringe on free speech.

Fucking hypocrites!!!
They can burn our flag,
Chant death to the USA
But if they see a cartoon that they disagree with, well, THAT JUST WRONG.
I am getting so sick of extreme Muslims, they are worse then Pat Robertson!!!

> I am getting so sick of extreme Muslims
As I have said before, extreme Muslims are the ones asking for peace, understanding and love... the typical Muslim is the one burning flags, beheading civilians, raping their woman for honor, etc...

In my experience, that is not true at all. And I meet muslims on a daily basis.

Im sorry but I would love to see some proof of that. As far as I am concerened you are talking absolute rubbish. I know plenty of Muslims but I dont know one who would be willing to burn down buildings and kill over a cartoon. Also, in the middle east there are quite a few muslims you know,alot more than the angry mobs you see on the TV.

When was the last time you saw more than 10,000 muslims together marching for peace?
When was the last time you saw more than 10,000 muslims together marching for hate, chanting death to the infidels, burning flags?

Red herring. The vast majority of Muslims do not march or demonstrate at all, making them far from extremist. BTW, there were plenty of Muslims at the peace protest I went to in 2003.

There were lots of mulims at the last peace rally I went to as well, many chanting death to Israel, god is great, long live palestine, etc. in fact, more muslims showed up than non. and most of the non were anarchist punks shouting for peace and throwing rocks and bottles at police, setting off fire crackers, and generally TRYING to start a riot. of the peaceful protesters, 1/4 could be considered lunatic fringe. you know, protesting by wearing clothes that clash and yelping like a dog waiving a peace sign.
just an observation. anybody who has actually BEEN to big activist ralleys will either confim this or be a liar.... or i supopose just be blind to the clear reality around them, which is also common.
in contrast, i once saw an anarchist punk try to drag an american flag through the mud and light it on fire.
a muslim man, wrestled it from him and pubicly scolded him. a photo of the action made the front page. which was nice. but really did not reflect the overall sentiment at the rally

Yep... I was wrong... red herring... these are peaceful people that want to behead others over a cartoon, that want to launch a real holocaust over a cartoon, that want to butcher people that mock their religion... thanks for setting me straight. I sure wouldn't want to mess with the non-peaceful extremists after seeing these loving, forgiving, peaceful folks...

Wow, you still don't get it. Small minority that gets media exposure =/= majority.

That is what I have been saying for years... I am starting to suspect that I was wrong... I suspect that the many Muslim friends that I have are the minority extremists that want peace, love, and understanding, while the vast bulk of Muslims would much rather see the world burn than to share it with anybody that doesn't follow Islam.

People often tend to have the same perception of Christians. In both cases, they are wrong. Just because the violent ones are more vocal does not mean they are the majority.
