If we're not supposed to condemn the jerks that made the anti-islam movie

52. Someone else in the koran burning incident had made the point

that treating muslims ( and you are broadly saying 'the muslim world' as if they are supposed to act like this) was a kind of insult and wrongheaded thinking.

It is a small part of the 'muslim world' that reacts like this, they are very violent and very vocal like any nutjob not afraid of dying or being killed would be but just a small portion of the 'muslim' world. I'm sure those who'd label themselves muslim would be wary to acknowledge these people as true muslims if they consider them that at all.

Beyond that the rest of the world simply cannot tip toe around the fraction of crazy muslims in the world. You either need to lock up the crazy people, get them help, or avoid them all together. It seems we can't avoid them because they seek out reasons to be outraged and thus relevant.

Look at OBL who cited our involvement in the middle east and just about every interaction with any arab country as reason to wage was against the US.

I'd wholeheartedly agree that if this film wasn't made then the incident wouldn't have happened BUT I think sooner or later the leaders of the crazy people would find some other reason to rally up their followers so they can keep them united against an enemy. It is how they tie them together in their hatred of some other while practicing their brand of crazy extremism.

The point I'm making is we can try to appease crazy hateful people but at best all we can do is have them move their targets to something else they don't like.
