Ok...you really want me to break it down sentence by sentence?
People over there probably don't know a whole lot about free speech because after the Ottoman empire was broken up and what we now know is the middle east was formed, they've pretty much been fucked over by one dictator or another. If they can't differentiate between free speech and blasphemy, see above.
I think the only reason some of them chose to riot is simply because, to them, any image of Muhammed is blasphemous. Do I agree with that? No...but I'm not a muslim. And don't pretend that shit like that doesn't happen here...it just happens in a different way. Remember how so many christians just about lost their fucking heads when people started saying "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas"? They didn't riot but they did what we do best in this country...bitch. People here may not riot, but they do what seems to work...complain. People in the middle east are simply doing the only thing that's ever worked for them. I think it's ridiculous and unnecessary, but there it is.
I fail to see how any muslim who tries to convert anyone is any different than a christian/jew/whatever trying to convert people. Anyone can take it over the top, and when it comes to religion they often do. Simple fact of life...people are stupid and quite often crazy.
Of course I don't argue with anyone killing someone who's trying to kill you. That's just ridiculous. But if you can devise a way to track down and kill ONLY those who wish us IN THIS COUNTRY harm, be my guest. In fact, such an idea could make you president since ours sure can't come up with such a solution.
