I don't disagree with that, but I do think that the Islamic countries have been acting like spoiled children, throwing a tantrum every time anything mildly critical about their religion is mentioned. Rioting about a cartoon, fer cryin' out loud.

What really irritates me is how the rest of the world is cowering in the face of their tantrums. I don't see why Islam should be treated any differently than any other religion, whether it's cartoons of the Pope, Muhammad, or Jerry Falwell. Similarly, if other religions can be publicly criticized, then so should Islam. Anyone who's been around kids knows that you can't let them use tantrums to get their own way. And, if you do, there'll be hell to pay later.
