It's just unbelievable to me that there are so many people apologizing for the Muhammad cartoons. Give me a break.

Do I freak out every time someone makes fun of Jesus? A sneer is about a violent as you'll get from me.

Now we find out that these cartoons were published in Egypt over five months ago. I see no riots and burning of Egyptian embassys. Right, they aren't considered "westerners".

By the by, the Muslim law that calls for the death of anyone who deigns to draw Muhammad actually applies TO MUSLIMS, not to NON-MUSLIMS:

"Denmark is being punished at the instigation of radical imams because twelve cartoonists have depicted Muhammad. However, these imams created their own three Muhammad images. They have even presented a French clown as being Muhammad. Because the twelve JP cartoonists are not Muslims, the Muslim blasphemy laws do not apply to them. But these laws do apply to the imams. Consequently, these imams deserve death. They – and no-one else – depicted the prophet as a pig – the highest imaginable insult in Islam." According to Paul Belien.

Were these Christians rioting, I would be ashamed to be Christian. I wonder what Muslims in the 'real world' feel about these events?
