CARTOON VIOLENCE
Is this a matter of the West not being sensitive to Islam (formerly Isalm), or are they just insane. I don't know.

Mohammed and Susie...
You know, I remember the cat people getting all upset over "Tom and Jerry" too. It seems like cartoons just tear us apart.

"Hi, I'm the Prophet Mohammed. You know, sometimes when I am slicing the heads of the infidels in the desert, my lips get really chapped. That's why I use Chap-Stick. It's the only lip balm that doesn't contain mind-control drugs cooked up by the Jews!"
Some of these comments are examples of why so many Muslims feel disrespected.
You people should be VERY careful.

We disrepect everyone equally here.
I am often the one who defends Muslims against the stereotypes that often fly around.
Of course, these comments are our attempts at humor. The riots over the cartoons seem to be about the visual representation of Mohammed, which we have not taken part in.
We do, and will, continue to say whatever we want.

Please....we're riffing on a typo for chrissakes! I misspelled Islam, and it rhymed with lip balm - sheesh.
Attention Planet Earth - calm the fuck down, get a sense of humour, and listen to more Pink Floyd!

Dave, I don't need to purchase a sense of humor, you just need to stop attempting to be funny...it's not working. BTW, Muslims don't like the prophet to be disrespected in ANY way. I'm sure that doesn't mean much to most of you, but this is much more than people being pissed at a cartoon.
While Denmark is right about all this, at the same time that's what's wrong about all this.
Far too many people, in this country, and across the world, simply cannot laugh at themselves.
I'm glad I don't have that problem.

Jackson, I'm with you...I have no problem with making fun of myself or religion(we need to rescue God from it)...I also know how to be sensitive to certain things. You must understand the Muslim world's perception. You cannot apply your "free speech" attitude to them and expect them to just accept the mocking and stereotyping of Muhammed as a terrorist (although they're living up to the stereotype by settin' shit on fire)...I'm just sayin'...
Denmark -
Yes, actually I CAN apply my freedom of speech concept to them and then condemn them for burning foreign embassies. Violence is not free speech. If they want to boycott Danish goods, more power to them. It is the violence that is unacceptable.
