Keep justifying, tejek. Muslims need to be held accountable for their own actions. As long as people like you justify the acts of Muslims, they will continue to act like barbarians. When have I said Muslims are not accountable for their actions? I just will not see only one side of the argument like you are so willing to do. In the U.S., we don't let a murderer off just because he grew up in a house where his dad beat him daily. We put him in jail. In the real world, just because Bush is an idiot and a violent President, doesn't mean we allow Muslims to use violence to get their goals achieved. We punish both. Get Bush out of office and possibly prosecute him if found guilty of breaking the law and punish the Muslims for being barbarians by isolating them diplomatically and financially, and putting any that commit crimes or incite hate in jail. In the meantime, Bush is still in office and he is occupying a Muslim nation and threatening other Muslim nations with a very heavy hand. There are other nations with questionable politics and gov'ts like N. Korea, Burma and the Congo, but he ignores them......its only the Muslim nations he goes after. Now if you are Muslim what would you think? And would you be willing to wait until Bush leaves office? I don't think so.

This is about what you should be worried. Under Bush, America's press has become timid and fearful. We are in danger of losing the freedom of the press. The only way to beat the radical Muslims at their own game is to keep our freedoms strong: "Across the continent, nearly two dozen other newspapers have joined in defending that principle. While Islamist clerics proclaim an ''international day of anger" or declare that ''the war has begun," leading publications in Norway, France, Italy, Spain, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic have reprinted the Danish cartoons. But there has been no comparable show of backbone in America, where (as of Friday) only the New York Sun has had the fortitude to the run some of the drawings. Make no mistake: This story is not going away, and neither is the Islamofascist threat. The freedom of speech we take for granted is under attack, and it will vanish if it is not bravely defended. Today the censors may be coming for some unfunny Mohammed cartoons, but tomorrow it is your words and ideas they will silence. Like it or not, we are all Danes now." boston.com
