I do believe most mulsims have no problem with opinion differences, I believe it is against the islamic teachings to draw islamic icons.

I agree that most muslims wouldnt have a problem with differences of opinion. And as I said, I know that the cartoons are a grave blasphemy to them. But the fact is that there is plenty of stuff going on that is blashpemous to one religion or another. I mean think about the number of cows consumed worldwide.. and yet you dont see the Hindus out rioting in the streets, do you?

I think we can all agree that the Middle East is at a strategic disadvantage. Quite simply, their gods don't have enough arms.

[castigated]

they do have fear, though, so they have that going for them.

Well, as the cartoons were published *in September* link
the whole incident should be put in different light. Why now? What's in it for anyone to pick it up now?

The pretenders in this particular game do seem awfully unbalanced. But if US is Ulm then BinLaden is Pangaea. Force of arms vs sneak tactics. Winning seems automatic but it can take alot longer than it would with another open force.

In fact, maybe he is Pangaea with Carrion Woods. You have to take out the religious leaders or else they can create an entire new army.

Just in case it doesn't show on the left, I'm from Israel.

I'd say we have enough gems to alchemize into 100 Astral pearls, as well as an Astral-9 pretender. An Alteration-9 researched. So atleast if Israel goes down, the rest of the world goes down with it ("Going Out With a Bang" =P)

Now seriously, those comics are just an excuse for them to riot. There's enough blasphemous and otherwise inappropriate material for:
1) Israel to burn down every arab country in the middle east.
2) USA to burn down every muslim country in the area.
3) Jews to riot and burn down nice portions of most of the western world.
4) Hindus to riot and burn down almost the entire world.
5) etc.
Yet none of that seems to happen.

Yes, this is all true (especially who is what gods ).

I think that how this really needs to be seen as is the stone that broke the camel's back. From my (poor) american perspective, the entire middle east has been on fire for the last four decades -or longer- and I think that the feeling there could finally just be a substantial population who "just can't take it any longer."

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to condone what is happening, I am just pointing out that there are reasons. Sometimes you just don't want to think about it, just do it.

Agrajag,
I apologize, not only I misunderstood you, but my reply wasn't even properly quoted...

Funny parallel ... But did you mean that US gets *no* chance to win (as would be the case in an Ulm/Pangea contest usually) ?

If your taling about Dominions-esque total anihilation, I hope no one wins.
