yes the "people like me" do often throw out racist unsupported arguments BUT noone on this board or in this country will call ANY of the actions mentioned in the letter as "just."

Maybe you can explain to me exactly what the big deal was about the cartoons? There was a huge thread on this and there's many reasons but how can you possibly compare that "us westerners" drew an insulting cartoon to "you muslims" BEHEAD OUR PEOPLE on TV?????!

Muslims are NOT beheaded on NBC (or in fact at all) in America.

Muslim leaders are NOT murdered here.

Fewer mosques have been attacked in America than in ANY Muslim country.

Muslims are NOT oppressed here by any laws.

For those reasons "us ignorant westerners" are BETTER, tha's right, read BETTER, people than you "peaceful muslims" I don't care about whose culture, history and so on is better but the simple fact that we've moved past blowing up our supermarkets and schools makes us a GREATER society than your average muslim country.

I don't really want to make this into an argument about civilizations or culture or religion...That is not my intention..
We need to understand that most people in the Middle East are uneducated, poor and live in their closed and tribal societies. Some chose and some were forced to live in such manner.. Their religion, whatever that maybe, burried deep within their culture and their culture is everything to them...The only thing the Danish Cartoons accomplished is that undermind the efforts of reasonable people trying to close the rift between western world and the muslim world.. They knew exactly how some of the muslim population would react to the cartoons and they went ahead and published and republished them... These poeple are fanatics in their own views and have their own agenda, that is to put a greater rift between,shall I say, West and East..
And when you come out and say "What is the big deal", the publishers of the cartoons have accomplished their goal..Unfortuanetly what may not be a big deal to us is a huge deal to those muslims who in most part participated in peacefull protests.. But only the unrully and dispicable protests by the FANATICS was mentioned in our media, which is ruled by Sensationalizm..
