(And I am only directing this to the Muslims that partcipated in the flag burinings.)\n\nI only thought they had American Flags but once those cartoons came out it was like- "Danish have insulted Muhammed- time to whipp out the Danish Flag."

^ Your such an idiot. Read.  She said was directing it towards the Muslims that did the flag burnings! \n\nAnd she said MUSLIMS because duh!! Muslims are in more than one counrty.  \n\nAnd yeah, I was suprised when I saw some radical muslims bruning another flag other than the American flag.

Good for you for sharing that...\n\nThe Mufti of Marseille quoted the same verses...\nHe was angered by the muslim community for demonstrating against the Cartoons \n\nHe said that especially Western Muslims, have benefited greatly from Free Speehc and Free Press...\n\nHe said that those manifestations where the proof that Muslims were week in their faith because they got offended for just a few cartoons of bad tastes. He also says that Criticism helps make one strong and look at himself.\n\nHe also added: That the current problem with Islam in the West and Arab countries is that there are more and more Imam that dont have enough spiritual knowledge of Islam and they are too focused on the political aspect of Islam... Such as the Imam of Danemark that provoked the whole situation...\n\nSo you are right to ask that questions.... But very very very few Muftis and Imams voice the spiritual view of Islam...Mr. Benchek. the Mufti of Marseille is a rare gem (With Balls I might say...).

Even though I am a Christian and do not support the Muslim beliefs, I think it would be inaccurate to call them "warfreaks." In a way, I think they are more serious about their faith than we, as Americans, are about our beliefs. \nEven though we as Americans founded this nation on religious freedom, we have managed to corrupt and do away with everything that has something to do with God. We have taken away the Bible and prayer in school, we support things that God destroyed whole cities for doing. Americans lynched, enslaved, and poisoned other Native Americans (who were here before the Europeans, and those of African descent, they crippled (mentally and physically) them and even today there is still discrimination and racial suttle undertones being expressed to the masses.\n\nMuslims torture their athletes if they don't train hard and excel in the races. If you don't do well in school, you probably will be punished among other things.\n\nI think the real warfreaks are draft dodgers with titles behind them and major finances to work with.

Actually it was in the spirit of "life, liberty, and the persuit of happiness." The "life, liberty and persuit of hapiness" of the other passengers. The A.C.L.U. should stay out of this.\n\nUntil it could be confirmed that these clerics posed no threat to the plane and its other passengers they should not have been allowed to board. \n\nUntil such time that aircraft are being taken over and used as guided missles by someone other than young Arab Muslims, then Muslims should expect to be singled out. \n\nUntil such time as someone other than Muslims are threatening us and working toward the destruction of western civilation then Muslims should be viewed with suspicion.\n\nAnd American Muslim clerics could do far more to help bring this under control if they would simply stop encouraging the extremists by thier tacit, and sometimes outright, support for the actions of the terrorists.

Hell no. The flag symbolizes our freedom - including the freedom to burn it if we want. Will they ban using it on clothes? How about letting it hang outside your house until it's tattered and faded? What about all those made in China magnetic ones on the backs of cars that are filthy dirty?\n\nThe flag burning amendmant is just a way for republicans to placate their rightist followers without doing anything.

The insensitive cartoonists have a right to print it.  The muslims have a right to protest it.  I wish people would show a little more repsect towards other people and not try to deliberately offend them.  I am not muslim and have no respect for their religion. But as one human being to another, i respect their right to believe it and would not make a mockery of something that may be sacred to them.  I would excpect the same respect.

They used to fly the Mexican flag in the apartments here. It was inside the metal screendoor, but it was still very visible.\n\nI came from Vietnam, but I am now an American citizen. I do not fly a Vietnamese flag; I fly the American flag. And anyone who comes here and insists upon  flying their home country's flag ought not do so. But you are asking to write it in law.\nWell, there are ways and means of dealing things without passing laws. The people themselves can make it know that they do not accept such behavior from the immigrants. Stand up for what you believe! If bullied, why not try bullying back?

Why do you think all Americans hate Muslims?  I lived in Indonesia for awhile.  I even fasted for Rahmadan (please forgive my spelling) out of respect for my host family.  It was hard, but I though alot about God during that time.  I went to church last sunday and heard a surrmon on how Islam is a false religion.  I got so mad I walked out and will not return to that church.  If we do not preach religious tollerance, what will the world become.  So, no personaly I do not hate Muslims.  What I don't like though, are terrorists foriegn or American.

It just shows how Muslims are.  They are violent and hateful.  If this had been done to a Christian they would merely write some scathing articles about how rude it is to attack their religion.  But how do Muslims handle it?  They want to attack a group of people who had nothing to with the cartoons.  This would be like Russia bombing us and we respond by saying "We wont allow Russia to succed.  That is why we are now bombing the Czech Republic"

Americans make fun of islam on south park.\n\nIs there an equivalent person mocking America in Iran saying why do the americans mock our religion on south park on their tv?\n\n\nIt is clear they are indoctrinated to believe America is the big satan.  We have two choices in my view.  One, bomb them all dead. or two, persuade the government to stop being anti american, or we will eliminate them and find a government that will be pro american.\n\nThis is essentially what we have done in afganistan and iraq.

I don't think Americans hate Muslims in general, but I do think that a lot of it have to do with Americans being ignorant and not understanding that Islamic fundamentalists do not represent the views of most of the world's Muslims.  It's just easier to group things rather than understanding the various intricacies of the religion.

they are criminals and hypocrites....they wouldnt allow sacred symbols of other relgions in their country....just try to land in saudia arabia with a crucifix or a bible and see what they will do to you.....and instead these morons come to christian countries and want to upset the social setup of the host country....by removing crucifixes from public places or by asking funds to build mosques.....i had already answered a similar question.....

I've already commented on this countless times, both on and offline, and I am completely sick and tired of this whole ludicrous situation. Having said that, here goes...\n\nAny reasonable person with an open mind and a rudimentary understanding and appreciation of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, et al KNOWS that the Danish newspaper was 100% within their rights to publish those caricatures of Mohammad. \n\nAs evidenced by some of the responses here (most notably the one from Pakistan above), the Muslims who are rioting in the streets, making death threats, boycotting Danish products, etc. are completely unreasonable. They cannot see beyond their own personal biases (Mohammad may be #1 with you, mate, but he's not #1 with me and 5-6 billion others who are sharing this planet with you) and have no conception of tolerance -- to say nothing of free speech.\n\nThe Danes are a free and tolerant people allowing their media to express itself freely, irrespective of whether or not the majority of Danes agree with what is printed. Any civilized country handles such matters in much the same way. We're talking about political CARTOONS, for Godsake!\n\nBut the fanatical Muslim fundamentalists and their terrorist host countries (Iran, Syria, et al), on the other hand, have absolutely no understanding of what it means to have free thought, free expression and tolerance for the views and beliefs of others. Whatever the perceived slight or "offense," these people can be counted on to react with excessive outrage and extreme violence (erm, what is that telling us about their religion, btw?). \n\nNothing short of the rest of the world converting to Islam tomorrow will appease these villains. So you know what? I couldn't care less about appeasing or even trying to understand them anymore. Fuck 'em!\n\nGod bless Denmark and Freedom!

During the \napril 10th march, these Mexican nationals placed their country's flag above ours.\n\nThat should tell you from the get-go, its all about "them" and nothing else.  \n\nps...did you see many of the mexican flags flown around the country today - you bet you did!  Yes, they waved more american flags, but only because they were told to do so....\n\nWolves in sheep clothing.

Absolutly making it worse!!!  Just like the terriorists are making it worse for Muslims.  They say all muslims aren't terriorists but all terriorists are muslim.  All Mexicans aren't members of the Atzlan/Reconquista crowd but all members are Mexican.  The legal families as well as illegal who do not agree with them are "collateral damage" in their broad scheme.  Why else would 2 non-english speaking students beat the crap out of another who did?  Why would a fellow Mexican get drug out of his car and beaten during a Mexican holiday for having an American flag on his car?  Why would another have scalding coffee thrown in his face because he was against amnesty?  Why do they make it a "race" thing when the head of the Minutemen in Il. is latino?  Other Minutemen are latino.  Where was the race card when 2 Mexican-American  border patrol agents are being unjustly punished for doing their job?  The American people are behind them.  They'll support Elvira who is breaking the law and leave their own out to dry for supporting the law.  They are playing the language card to further cause a rift and seperation of people.  Even when people who learn Spanish to try and communicate...it's not the "right" Spanish....it has to Mexican Spanish.  Anything and everything to push everyone who isn't Mexican out of the picture.  How well do you think a Korean-American is going do speaking the Mexican version of Spanish?  Sorry.....but no.....they are doing incrediable damage.  Their hate and their agenda is far louder and having more impact on the American people than anything.

There was a time when I would have been saying that two wrongs don't make a right.\n\nBut, today, I think what's happening in USA and most Western Countries is right.  \n\nThere's a growing antipathy towards Muslims and a lot of American Organizations have already found reasons to remove the Muslims working there and do not find it possible to hire Muslims anymore. \n\nImmigration of these people here is already next to impossible.\n\nFollowing the precedent of the Dutch banning the burqa, it's only a matter of time before this happens here, too.\n\nSome Country, if not the Dutch, will also take the next step of banning mosques there and then everybody will follow.\n\nThen it's only a matter of time before the harsher steps take place, because such a move is bound to have the Imams go berserk and a lot of Terrorist Acts will take place when there will be a clamor for the revoking of their Citizenships and deportations which will, naturally, come to be.\n\nIt's a great pity that some very good people who are Muslims and do not support Terrorism and Islamic Fundamentalism will suffer as a result of all this; but then, what can we do?  That's acceptable collateral damage.\n\nIt's really a very great pity though, that because of these Imams and Fanatics, so many innocent people will have to suffer.\n\nI really wish it didn't have to be so.
