Slor will now speak on the cartoon riots...

[slor]

there have been many great posts that explain the feelings behind the riots, and many posts attacking those that would resort to violence, over a "cartoon". I do not claim to be an expert on anything, except the love of a good time (bon vivant, through and through). That being said, how does anyone expect Muslims to react differently, at a time when the Western world is killing their people in Iraq, on what are essentially, trumped up charges? Not to mention how many people, in positions of authority over those same military forces that are killing their people, have used words like "Crusade". I am not defending anyone, and I will certainly never understand the fundamentalist mind, here in the U.S., or "over there". But why do so many here seem to attack them, given everything they have seen?
