"No, it's the religion of peace, d***it! Kill all the infidels who suggest otherwise! Burn their flags and merchandise, burn everything!"



I can't imagine a better example of making your opponent's point for him.

A friend and I were talking about this yesterday, and he asked me: "What's more important, religious sensitivity or freedom of speach?" My answer was instinctive: freedom of speech. Why? Because the truth is more important that any individual's personal feelings and preferences.

I think the biggest issue is, that not under any circumstances is Muhammad supposed to made images of. I think most of the protestors don`t know anything else than that cartoons of him has been printed.
