Neo-Cons instigates: War on Cartoons!
Political cartoons dates back to the 18th century. It is protected free speech in the U.S contitution. Last week in The Wasington Times a political cartoonist depicted a legless and armless Iraqi vet in a hospital bed listening to Rumsfeld. Of course the Pentagon was outraged and sent a letter of protest to the paper. Fox news exploited this cartoon saying how anti-American it was. Then a cartoon appeared in a Danish newspaper making Allah a caricature. In Islam this is blasphemy. Muslims went apeshit and had violent protests. The Neo-Cons and rouge CIA agents have been known to instigates Arab riots by Arab double agents who work as provocateurs. The masterminds behind these planted cartoons knew damn well this would cause problems in the Muslim community.CIA agents work on newspapers as stuff writers and plant stories. Domestic papers to foreign papers have CIA moles.The Neo-Cons know if they stage another 9-11, that they will be under suspicion. Last years French riots were not by Muslims but bored ghetto youth. But the right wing media spined it as a Muslim riot to scare the American public. These cartoon riots are design to scare the American public. The bombings in a London subway was designed to do the same thing. So what is the subliminal message here? Free speech is bad. This is what you get! Riots! The Neo-Cons want to abolish the constitution because it is an obstacle for their Empire building. The Bush crime family has destine for the constitution. Evidence is how Bush violated the 4th amendent. But Americans only concern is superbowl Sunday. Too bad!

1. Yes, just as we found out that the Saddam statue event was staged
I agree with you about this. I do think it's meant to paint all Muslims as so stupid that we have to fear them all because even a cartoon can cause them to go insane. This is not true and there have been voices raised in outrage by Muslims, but they are being drowned out while the focus is on the extremists. The IRA was infiltrated for years by British Agents who participated in bombings, which lost support eventually for the IRA.

I wonder what the Rendon Group is up to lately?

3. Well, my tinfoil hat deflected about half

but the other half I agree with.

It is our own ignorance of real problems that we let underscore our stereotypes. I don't believe we are being manipulated into anti muslim furor, I just think that the media in general is stupid and lazy and the rest of us who rely on their insight and opinion merely borrow their stupidity and journalistic laziness.

Here are the real problems:

the people of Shia / Sharya Islam live in highly oppressive society and live highly repressed lives. They have ultimate freedom of religion as long as they're muslim and no freedom of speech.

In fact I'd go so far as to say that you really can't have both at the same time, effectively. I'll take the side of free speech though.

So when a chance to freely rail at "authority" or at "oppressors" comes along it's like a crack in the dam and all hell breaks loose at the slightest provocation.

The problem is and is not religion; it also lies in their systems of governance and their feeling of political powerlessness outside of their faith. You attack their faith and their identity and you attack their entire world, so they feel the anger and violence is justified, while we look at it as completely loony.
