Well, they are. If a group of people responds to a stupid cartoon like the Muslims have, then there is something wrong with that group. That's pretty simple. People retaliate for much less. Have you seen the movie about the Omagh bombing in Northern Ireland? I recommend you rent it. In 1996, Omagh was bombed because the IRA had called for truce. A faction within the IRA splintered away and called themselves the Real IRA. In retaliation for the IRA truce, they bombed Omagh. As bad as a terrorist bombing is, the Real IRA made it worse by calling into a newspaper and saying the bomb was within 300 meters of the courthouse. In an effort to get people away from the courthouse, the police pushed them down a long street right down to where the bomb actually was. Its believed the terrorists new that would happen since the car in which the bomb was placed was considerably further than 300 meters from the courthouse. Consequently many more people and children were killed or injured than would have had they not been pushed in that direction. Oh, did I mention..........the Real IRA is made up of Christians. imdb.com
