If this is some attempt to imply I'm ignorant of their cause, I'm not. I don't agree with a lot of what's gone on in the east at the hands of the west, but trying to take away my right to free speech and threatening to blow me up while doing it is going over the line between friendly debate and asking for an arse kicking. They've crossed that line.

Which was actually my point. You were listening to them. Remember? Not trying to shoot them? Way back then?

If they join the terrorists, then we'll get Deus Ex on their ass.

Your point is invalid, as you specified listening to them when they were waving guns about threateningly or saying they would do so. He listened to them only when they were not waving guns about threateningly or saying they would do so.

Well, no. Since they are doing that and we are listening to them. Otherwise we wouldn't be having this chat.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Well I don't believe that's the case when they're rioting. There is no roundtable discussion going on in the background. Now if they were massing outside your door to give you a letter and you didn't read it, maybe.

They're burning stuff, you're talking about them. Mission accomplished. Rioting IS the action. They didn't loot a KFC cause no one listened to them.

Some believe they are protesting because to create an image of Muhammad (sp?) is sacrelige.  Yup, Koran states that, sure.  That's just the 'lead-in'.

Everyone knows (or should know) the real reason they are acting up is because yonder 'cartoon' gives a whole group of overtly violent and sick people a free pass to act out their fantasies and live up to the very stereotype they are protesting against.  Nothing more, nothing less.

I find it funny that a group of people would be offended by a cartoon but not offended by car bombings and hostage executions.
