"Islamic anger over newspaper depictions of the Prophet Mohammed is boiling over into violence around the world, with protesters targeting the embassies of countries where the cartoons were published."

Do doubt torching embassies will be the new sport. There is a lot of anger on both sides of this thing that has yet to be vented. A large number of Europeans, probably a large majority, are annoyed with Muslims over a variety of issues. I strongly suspect that annoyance is why those cartoons got drawn and then published so widely. The riots in France and now this doesn't really improve the situation from the European point of view. And when one or more Muslim nitwits decides to take the issue directly to European citizens...

As if the US invading Iraq wasn't bad enough. At least that was restricted to one country with an extremely unpopular leader.

They've torched Beirut now. These papers should write Muslim men blah blah blah since the women seem to be at home based on the photos and newscasts....

Interestingly enough, Beirut erupts the day after Damascus goes nuts.

Doth the Muslims protest just a bit much???
