Past the point of reasoning...

[Rufus Rhastus J]

For the life of me, i just cannot understand why civalized (term used in the loosest of ways) folks continue to tolerate this muslem violance and murder. Now they are killing Christians! I think the time has come that we need to consider extermination. If this is what we can expect from those we funnel billions of dollars, in aide, it's time to withdraw all fianacial and military support and let them just slaughter each other. I'm sick of this mess and I just can't understand why others are not as outraged as I. Please read this editorial from this moring's Tampa Tribune. I warn you, if you are as angered as i, then this should set you up for the whole day!
At Least 15 Die in Nigeria Cartoon Protest

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) -- Nigerian Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches on Saturday, killing at least 15 people in the deadliest confrontation yet in the whirlwind of Muslim anger over the drawings.
It was the first major protest to erupt over the issue in Africa's most populous nation. An Associated Press reporter saw mobs of Muslim protesters swarm through the city center with machetes, sticks and iron rods. One group threw a tire around a man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze.
In Libya, the parliament suspended the interior minister after at least 11 people died when his security forces attacked rioters who torched the Italian consulate in Benghazi.
Right-wing Italian Reforms Minister Roberto Calderoli resigned under pressure, accused of fueling the fury in Benghazi by wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with one of the offending cartoons, first published in September in a Danish newspaper.
Danish church officials met with a top Muslim cleric in Cairo, meanwhile, but made no significant headway in defusing the conflict.
And in what has become a daily event, tens of thousands of Muslims protested - this time in Britain, Pakistan and Austria - to denounce the perceived insult. On Sunday, some 400 protesters pelted the U.S. Embassy in Indonesia with rocks, tomatoes and eggs. They burned U.S. flags and smashed the windows of a guard post before dispersing.
But it was in Nigeria, where mutual suspicions between Christians and Muslims have led to thousands of deaths in recent years, that tensions boiled over into sectarian violence.
Thousands of rioters burned 15 churches in Maiduguri in a three-hour rampage before troops and police reinforcements restored order, Nigerian police spokesman Haz Iwendi said. Iwendi said security forces arrested dozens of people in the city about 1,000 miles northeast of the capital, Lagos.

Chima Ezeoke, a Christian Maiduguri resident, said protesters attacked and looted shops owned by minority Christians, most of them with origins in the country's south.
"Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters," Ezeoke said. Witnesses said three children and a priest were among those killed.
The Danish cartoons, including one showing Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban with an ignited fuse, have set off sometimes violent protests around the world.
After the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten printed the caricatures in September, other Western newspapers, mostly in Europe, followed suit, asserting their news value and the right to freedom of expression.
But Nigeria has been spared much of the violence seen elsewhere in the world, though lawmakers in the heavily Muslim state of Kano burned Danish and Norwegian flags and barred Danish companies from bidding on a major construction project. Kano lawmakers also called on the state's 5 million people to boycott Danish goods.
Nigeria, with a population of more than 130 million, is roughly divided between a predominantly Muslim north and a mainly Christian south.
With Saturday's deaths, at least 45 people have been killed in protests across the Muslim world, according to a count by The Associated Press.
In the violence in Libya, Seif el-Islam Gadhafi, the son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, said four of the 11 dead were believed to have been Egyptians or Palestinians.
"Setting the consulate on fire was a mistake, but using excessive force was the most tragic response," the younger Gadhafi said, explaining the suspension of Interior Minister Nasr al-Mabrouk.
Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi blamed the riots in Libya, Italy's former colony, on "thoughtless action by our minister," the Italian news agency ANSA quoted him as saying.
Calderoli said he wore the shirt to show "solidarity to all those who were hit by the blind violence of religious fanaticism." He said he did not intend "to offend the Muslim religion nor to be the pretext for yesterday's violence."
At the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar, U.S. Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes said U.S. newspapers generally did not reprint the caricatures "because they recognize they are deeply offensive, even blasphemous to the precious convictions of our Muslim friends and neighbors."
In Cairo, Bishop Karsten Nissen, of Denmark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, met with Grand Imam Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi of al-Azhar University, the world's highest Sunni Muslim seat of learning.
Tantawi said the Danish prime minister must apologize for the drawings and further demanded that the world's religious leaders meet to write a law that "condemns insulting any religion, including the Holy Scriptures and the prophets." He said the United Nations should impose the law on all countries.
In response, Nissen did not address the issue of a global law but said it was impossible for Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen to apologize.
"I have brought to his excellency (Tantawi) the apology of the newspaper, but our prime minister did not draw these cartoons. Our prime minister is not the editor of this newspaper. He cannot apologize for something he did not do," Nissen said.
In Pakistan on Sunday, police raided offices and homes of dozens of radical Islamic leaders, putting several under house arrest and detaining hundreds of their associates to foil a rally in the capital, officials said.
So far the West and Islamic nations remain at loggerheads over fundamental, but conflicting cultural imperatives - the Western democratic assertion of a right to free speech and press freedom, versus the Islamic dictum against any representation of the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims say such depictions could encourage idolatry.

Well, do you feel sorry for the muslems? I think we need to delare a jihad on all muslem cleriks! Maybe if we get them, like cutting the head from the snake, the rest of the body will die. I'm sure we will just do more of what we are doing (read: nothing) but, it sounds like a plan to me. Those in charge don't seem to have any plans. And how long are we going to allow Christians to be slaughtered by these vile muslems?

Rufus its not that we tolerate it but the most violence and rioting is happening in their own countries where this sort of behavior happens on a daily basis. (remember these are the people who shoot guns up in the air-apparently they do not understand Newton's Law of Gravity).

If this type of behavior happened here it would be met with strict resistance from the local Law enforcement not to mention they would be moved to the top of the Patriot act watch list - and they know this; this is why you do not see this crap here. That and they know they stand a good chance of getting shot by all the gun toting conservatives.

Point is they stand no repercussions for the way they act thus it is why they do it.

I also think some of it is downright hatred because of us infidels living at 20 times the standard of thier countries

You got that right. They hate us because we are free and we know what soap is.

Why are they attacking US embassies? We didn't draw the frickin cartoons.

[troy2000]

Anyone here have a problem with that? It's certainly acceptable to me...:assult:

[Shaun]

I have no problem with him being dead

[Big Dog]

.22 Guy - that's just the thing. The cartoons aren't really the issue - they are merely the catalyst, being used to justify the violence by the Islamic Tango leaders. Anything to get the masses PO'd enough to start killing Westerners, any Westerners. The cartoon thing played into their hands - eight months AFTER first being published.
We need to locate and terminate those instigators.

[Dallas]

Osama wants to be dead? Yes I can live with that.

I'll tell ya, I thought the cold war was scary. But this religious war we are bequething to our children is without a doubt even scarier. At least in the cold war there were some rules that each side followed more or less. But these muslims seem to just want to kill, EVERYBODY who isn't muslim, especially westerners. All of this will pass in time I know, but I wonder how many people are going to have to die before it's over.

I also wonder will will hapen in about 100 years or so when the oil is all used up in the middle east and we no longer have any need to put up with the Arabs and their cr@p. I'd almost be willing to bet the violence starts again (assuming it stops before then) because they won't be able to handle the world where the west is still powerful and rich by their standards and all of a sudden they have nothing, the ruling Arab families will have billions in Swiss banks and the regular Arab person will be a penniless dolt. The dolts will be egged on the violence by Imans who can't understand why they are the chossen people and yet live like fleas on a dogs butt.

I'm afraid this cr@p is going to be going on for a LONG LONG time.

[Rave]

I have been wondering why we haven't gotten him yet,could it be that we need a boogieman to justify staying the course?

[giturgun]

Sooner or later they will try another attack on us , and as the Admiral of the Imperial navy said after the attack on pearl harbor . I fear we have awakend a sleeping giant . The political correct view our leaders must follow these days is a scurge to our freedom and when the peace nicks get enough control we will always pay the price. Leaders of old were wise enough to barter with one hand yet hold a pistol in the other , just in case.

[WetKnife]

Why don't we just get them to off themselves. It isn't that hard and we have done it before. Their greatest weakness is the different sects to the Muslim religeon. Sunnis, Shiites, Persians, whtaever stupid Bin Laden sect.
