Faces of Islam: The Religion of Peace.
What do you call someone running down the street with a Molotov cocktail? A target!
Unless they are in Europe and the Middle East. Then they are protesters to be feared. They are to be listened to and respected. Europe is in the midst of a revolutionary war, or perhaps a civil war, with a group of people to whom boundaries and borders mean nothing.
Months back, they let the Muslims rioted for weeks. Unanswered rioting. Rioting with out consequence because a criminal got himself killed. Millions and millions of dollars in property damage later, the smoldering wick of violence gets another breath of air with a bunch of silly cartoons in a Danish paper. Cartoons like this:
Yes. I can see the need for burning Europe and destroy embassies in Syria. Here is the entire collection:
I'll probably be on somebodies hit list now.
If so, I might as well go all the way. Listen here you backwards eighth century lunatics: Don't try this stuff in my backyard. Don't pull this crap in my city. I am a free American, a United States citizen, a veteran, a husband and father. I have a right to protect myself and my family, and I will. You may burn my house and my car, but you will be tripping over the bodies of the people who went before you. You have the right to practice your religion, even share it with others here, and even if I don't agree with it, as an American, I respect your right.
You have a right to peaceful assembly. You can march through the streets, even wave anti-american banners, but if you light a match, watch out. You may be the one getting burned.
The Europeans aren't going to make a stand against these people, and I am afraid that we will one day have this sort of violence here on our streets. My point is this: Once they cross the line from being a protester to criminal, there should be swift action and dire consequences.
Remember the riots in LA? Let's not allow that to happen again.
Yup. It's only a matter of time before the sh@t hits the fan here in the US because somebody says the wrong thing in the wrong place, and the Nanny State will run to coddle the "offended", hand them the key to the city, and give them a book of matches.
The only thing that could make it funny is if Jullian Bond or Harry Belafonte are the ones to say it. Or Mama Sheehan.

Update:It's closer than you think:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States backed Muslims on Friday against European newspapers that printed caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in a move that could help America's battered image in the Islamic world.
Inserting itself into a dispute that has become a lightning rod for anti-European sentiment across the Muslim world, the United States sided with Muslims outraged that the publications put press freedom over respect for religion.
"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the belief of Muslims," State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in answer to a question.
"We all fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression but it must be coupled with press responsibility. Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable."
Yup. It's only a matter of time before the sh@t hits the fan here in the US because somebody says the wrong thing in the wrong place, and the Nanny State will run to coddle the "offended", hand them the key to the city, and give them a book of matches.
