In Pakistan They Burn Western Flags!!

Throughout Pakistan the Muslim Mobs burn western flags due the current cartoon row. Even English flags were burned although England did not publish pics of Mohammed at all!!!

I am tired of my life being disturbed because of Islam, whether it be at airports or watching our flags being burned.

Imagine how they would be if we started going out onto the streets and burning copies of the Koran???

Make a difference! Start ordering Non Halal food when booking an airline ticket! Do you want an evil Muslim cleric praying over your food???

No need to riot or hate but peacefully object to this dangerous irrelavent superstition called Islam!

I'm sorry, I have as much right to be biased as anyone, but "dangerous and irrelevant superstition"? That just doesn't work. Islam is tied as the oldest religion, and there are many people around the world who believe in Islam, most of them not the radical fundamentalists who make the most noise.

Islam can be a very peaceful religion. though often not very progressive, different people follow it to different levels, meaning that millions of Muslims are progressive, and peole who you would have no problem eating a meal with. It's the 5% that are radical that are the danger, the same 5% that I would not want anywhere near my food.

But this is the same in any religion. Want an example of Christian extremists, think about the Crusaders, the KKK, or a wide variety of other hate groups around the world. Jewish, think about the Kach party, led by Meir Kehana, or the Jewish Defense League, basically Jewish terrorists. In general, I never trust extremists.

For my part, I'm Jewish, an American who moved to Israel for 7 years, adn as such I was nearly taken out in two bombings. I saw friends killed, maimed, lives ruined. I came back to the US, and lost more friends and family in 9/11. Add in two riends lost in the subway bombings, and I have every reason to hate Muslims. But only by understanding that it is not everyone, that it is the extremists who are causing the problems, is there any hope for a peaceful solution to the contreversy.

just remember the crap the US caught because some soldiers "allegedly" carried the Quran in their left hands.
And oh by the way, who is arrogant enough to assume what the Prophet looks like so how can they protest pictures/cartoons of this image? I saw them. Looked like any crazed raghead to me.
