OT: Muhammed-caricatyres and freedom of speach

[Atrocities]

Its funny that they advertise Islam as the religion of tolerance, yet when reasonable people say wait a minute, how come the Imans aren't coming out in droves denouncing the beheading of kidnap people, and the suicide bombings that kill hundreds of inocent people, especially children, yet they come out in arms over a stupid series of cartoons.

Those reasonable people who say wait a minute are then cast as the "bad guys" because they dare say "wait a minute Islam is not a religion of peace and tolerance."

Perception, actions speak louder than words. Right now the perception that many people have, including me, is that Islam is not a religion of peace and tolerance. It is a religion of intolerance and hatred.

I don't see that many people standing up and saying "Stop the violance. Stop the murdering. Stop the bombings." It appears that perhaps they are ok with this and want more. It is sickening to think that people will riot and kill other people over a catoon, yet stay home and laugh when people of their own religion blow up a school yard full of kids in the name of the Islam.

Like I said, a religion of hatred. Its ok to kill people, but its not ok to draw a cartoon. WTF?

I believe that the Fundamentalist elements of certain countries are using this event to their advantage to foster even further fear and mistrust among their own people.

Nevertheless, can you imagine if a Fundamentalist Islamic country were to become a Nuclear power...lets say "there was no holocost" Iran, the same country that officially approves of the destruction of Israel. How long would it take from the time they get a nuclear device to the time they detonate it over Tel-Aviv? Makes you wonder.
