More Cartoon Protests
The days roll on and rather than getting better the protests over the Danish cartoons published in September is getting worse. The protests are becoming so violent in some areas that police are using deadly force to quell the. Four died today.
At first I thought it was pretty ironic that Muslims were reacting violently to cartoons depicting them as a violent people but there's actually more to it. It seems that it is blasphemy for anyone to draw any picture of the Prophet, no matter in what light, and that's what's being protested. What's wrong with saying "That sucks guys. In our religion drawing a picture of the Prophet is blasphemous, you're going to hell." and leaving it at that. I don't think it's Mans responsibility to be God's watcher. That's like the kid telling the parent what to do.
Muslim extreemists seem to think that it's the responsibility of the world to conform to them, rather than their responsibility to get along with the rest of the world, which is a pretty twisted view on things, in my opinion. Eventually I think the world will tire of all the rhetoric, bombings, and terrorism and Muslims will find themselves on the run. Unfortunately a lot of good, decent people will be affected at the fault of a few radical few.
Already in a bold statement of "not in our house" Israel has discovered, targeted, bombed, and killed a member of the Islamic Jihaad, a terrorist group. Islamic Jihaad has claimed responsibility for a number of bus bombings in the Gaza strip and Palestine. It seems that Israel has already begun to tire of the radical Islamic BS and is doing something about it. They've drawn the line and are telling the terrorists "that ain't how we're going to roll".

I have a hard time beliveing that the Iranians are upset about the cartoon as much as they have found yet another excuse to throw anger toward America. Today a bunch of protesters attacked an American base, even though America had absolutely nothing to do with that cartoon. When asked why the protesters were attcking the American base when it was the Danes that drew the cartoon one protester said:
The U.S. base was targeted because the United States "is the leader of Europe and the leading infidel in the world," said Sher Mohammed, a 40-year-old farmer who suffered a gunshot wound while taking part in the demonstration in the city of Qalat. "They are all the enemy of Islam. They are occupiers in our country and must be driven out," Mohammed said. *Quote taken from Yahoo News*
I'm sure that the EU would be thrilled to know that America is now their leader.
