Reply #100: I dunno, I think you are disrespecting them more than the toons [View All]

[The Straight Story]

It would seem you are casting them as unable to control themselves and have intelligent dialouge with others on issues. `well of course they are rioting and threatening people, they don't know any better`.

Pat robertson wants a hit on chavez cause he feels he is a mini-dictator and we are up in arms, islamic leaders and fanatic followers want to kill and burn things up over a cartoon and we rationalize their behavior; we expect more from christians and call them on it but islamic folks we expect it from?

Violence and rationalizing it solve nothing. Expecting that reaction from a group over a cartoon and lack of general respect for them says to me we expect less of some people - ie, they are just down the evolution chain and have not made it up to where we are so let's be extra nice to em and not offend them in anyway.
