Ugh, DU. The anti-Muslim sentiment here is getting to me.

211. And?

My comment was to the original conflicts that came from countries that don't. They are now spreading among Muslims throughout the world. It was a general statement as too what I believe to be a part of why in their mind they blame the Nation instead of just the films makers. You can find individual anecdotes to contradict any generality. Did they carry signs or make demands that "Americans must give up their rights". That is just a way of trivializing their outrage by saying they are worse because they want to take away our freedoms. Where have we heard those accusations before. I'm not defending their actions, but if you don't try to understand things how can you ever solve a problem/crisis. They are pissed (as was the intent of the film, mission accomplished) and their demonstrations (speaking out) are turning violent. Not like there has never been a demonstration turn violent in the US. What they are doing is wrong and should be condemned, but to try to vilify them by claiming their specific intent is to take away our rights (which the thought of instantly outrages us) is disingenuous.
