Islam: Mohammad Cartoon Protests Turn Deadly

Some of the Islamic protests about the Mohammad cartoons have turned deadly around the world, and the question must be asked again, “When will this madness stop?” The idiots have begun to protest at, and around, American embassies. What do American embassies have to do with the Mohammad cartoons? Again this just shows that the participants in this charade are just venting more racist frustration. The American government has advised that the offense was not very respectable; they stated religious intimidation should never occur. Still the racist radicals have targeted American people, and property, irregardless of the fact that no one in America has any involvement in this issue. Therefore I ask, why are Americans being targeted? Is it because these individuals are really just exposing their racist tendencies?

The violence that has occurred in response to the cartoons is getting out of hand and I feel its time the Muslim leaders in the world get a grip on this, otherwise they are condoning violence, and hatred and that would be a very sad situation.

I understand their outrage at what they consider offensive. However, threatening, attacking, and killing, innocent individuals, and property, is just plain barbaric, and racist. This is no less an offense that seeing a Nazi oppress a Jew, or a KKK member kill an innocent African American. Where is the justification for their hatred.

Why do these ill-behaving individuals get away without being labeled racists? And how do civilized cultures justify doing business with individuals displaying this type of behavior. I say if they want to attack symbols of freedom then we need to quit doing business with cultures that display open and honest racism. Would any of you invite someone this racist into their home? Then how can your business justify doing any form of business with them?

Religious intimidation should not be tolerated. However, when an issue occurs, there should be reasonable discussions, not barbaric acts of violence. Who appears as the real infidel when these types of behavior are exhibited? I think we all know the answer.

This is not a girls sweet sixteen birthday party, its real life. You can’t just throw out all the party members because they do not acquiesce to your every need, or ideal. These individuals need to grow up, talk like a man, they need to quit crying about their spilled milk and discuss their problems in a reasonable fashion, the time, and acceptance, of violence is long past. They should quit calling it a protest and refer to is as a racist gathering. How can this type of behavior be accepted in modern society? It can’t, and it should not. It is time for this madness to end.
