BOMB ME

Recently (ironically the first cartoon was published in September 2005... guess it took the donkey cart that long to get from Copenhagen to Beruit), an editorial cartoon was published which outraged the whole middle east. The cartoon depicts a muslim "mooolah" with a bomb as a turban. It was an editorial piece which, in my opinion, is painting Mohammed as a bomb wielding terrorist. So what does the Islamic community do? Instead of writing their own editorials in protest or doing anything the world would consider "civilized", they prove the cartoon true by hurdling rocks and gas bombs at Danish embassies all over the middle east. Doesn't this prove the point of the freaking cartoon? Its like if an editor of the Washington Post posted a cartoon of Madonna being a whore and in protest of the cartoon, she goes and has an orgy that would make even Caligula envious. Our world sees most Muslims as uncivilized, homeless, unemployed brutes which is unfortunate. There are about a billion Muslims in the world and it is a small minority of them which paint a horrible picture for the rest of them. I understand that the Muslim world does not allow portrayals of Mohammed and that painting him as a terrorist is a horrible thing. I do also understand that threatening more 9/11 style attacks on Europe as well as threatening beheading the cartoonist are the wrong way to express your dissent. In my opinion, such protests only spread the rift between the Western World and the Muslim World. In the end... just calm the fuck down.... its only a cartoon.... not worth killing anyone over.
