ORIGINAL: cloudboy I was not trying to negate your point. I was just adding some commentary. I hate all elements that target free speech. Clearly the West is part of the problem in the Middle East, and our solutions have not worked well to stabilize the region. The US has been especially incompetent. You can add most of Europe and the UK into that mix. The problem is, despite moderate musings and declarations to the western media, the fundamental root of Islam and the total premise of western nations are a complete dichotomy and worlds apart. The west believe in free speech. To offend or be offended is a fundamental right in our societies. Islam, and countries ruled by it, have a fundamental belief that their religion, their prophet, and their holy book come first and blasphemy against any part of it deserves death. There is NO free speech in Islam. There is the problem and never the twain shall meet. It is sooo black and white and final that there can never be any compromise. Check the last link I gave out in post#410. Islamics want the world and they will kill and destroy anything that stands in the way of total domination - or die in the attempt. Admittedly, only a few are extreme in pursuing it to it's bitter end. But that doesn't detract from their fundamental belief system that the world should be Islamic and ruled by Sharia law.
