Islamiacs rage on!
So now the Islamiacs in Damascus have torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in protest over the publishing of caricatures of Mohammed. Hey, you liberal and decadent Danes, how does it feel to get the brunt of the latest round of Islamofascist outrage? We Americans have been on the receiving end of such ire for as long as I can remember, (part of it our fault, part of it not) it's about time someone else had an embassy bombed/burned down/taken over.
I'm not saying the caricatures should have been published; I think they shouldn't have been. Putting on image of Mohammed in any form in your newspaper is like running a front page headline that says "F--- GOD." You just don't do it. I'm all for free speech, but within reason. You have to respect people's religious beliefs as much as possible. Having said that, there's no excuse for the offended parties to act like barbarians in response.
Anyway, it's mighty nice of Yahoo to list the other countries whose newspapers also published the cartoons. Makes it pretty convenient for the Islamozealots to figure out whose embassy to target next. (Hey, how about New Zealand? Those Kiwis sure pose a threat to Islam.)
