So I was thinking more about this and I was thinking about some of the problems that went on and why the riots. I don't know how to articulate my thoughts but I just wanted to make a couple points.

First in France the government banned muslim head dress and that caused alot of seperation of the cultures which led to the riots.Not a very smart solution. Now in Denmark they published these carricatures depicting Mohammed as a terrorist which led to the riots. again not a smart solution and just fuel to the fire.
I was also thinking about how there is never a person or Arab leader who ever has a solution and that the only way Muslims react to these situations is with a riot or a beheading or a stoning or whatever. There is never an intelligent reaction. It's always part of their beliefs.
I was watching the news and some of the rioters were saying "down with Denmark and down with the U.S." and I was thinking what does the U.S have to do with this. It seems like the Arab world puts the brunt of the downfall of western civilization on the U.S. so why do they? Then I thought alot of the philosophy of western civilization is based on seperating church from state, so is this something they can't handle and get a grip on? The church does seem to always have an upperhand in their government so what's the problem? Is this why they are so extreme?

*** I could also be completely out of my head on this one, but it was my conclusion.

The reaction to this has been completely over the top, but entirely predictable.

The newspaper had the legal right to print the pictures, but it was morally wrong to do so - freedom of speech does not mean you can say what you like and be exempt from the consequences.

People are dying over this.
