American Warmonger

I think a person has to be brought up in an atmosphere of hatred and anger, to be like that. It's more than I can understand. There are a few individual people that I've hated over the years, but never would have felt justified in killing them. Tempted, but not justified. I can't imagine hating, and wanting to destroy an entire group of people simply because their beliefs are different than mine. I don't think that's because I'm a Christian, although I am definetely that. I think it's just not in my nature, and absolutely NOT how I was brought up.

And they wonder why people hate them?

I'm pretty sure those are from the peaceful eruption of hatred, threats, and intimidation in the wake of the Danish cartoons.

my head hurts

hope the world can go back to peace soon.

no more terrorism, so we can all live in a peaceful world

They run true to nature. Like pitbulls. If we marched through the streets demanding their heads we would get arrested. The press would not shut up about it and the ACLU would be breathing down our backs.

Truth be told if someone were to protest this type of protest I wouldn't really...ahem...CAIR.

I'm sickened by this as well but we simply cannot make judgments on an entire religious group for the actions of some of them, and certainly not from a chain email that is generally misleading. Yes the pictures are real, yes a protest really happened in Jan 2006, yes it is shocking and appalling to say the least but of course the email doesn't tell you the whole truth, like the fact that this demonstration was widely condemned by authorities and religious groups in the media (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4682262.stm) or the fact that the one picture of the guy with "Islam will dominate the world" is most likely from a different protest from 2004! or how about mentioning the truly peaceful demonstration on 16 Feb 2006. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4700482.stm) OBTW: this protest was actually reported on CNN Feb 7th.

Frightening pictures. However, I like to believe that the entire Muslim community does not share those thoughts. The Bloods, the Crips, and the KKK are all extremists in our country and their comments and protests are similar. I equate these Islamic nutjobs with them.

Unfortunately for us these "nutjobs" make the overall population of the Bloods, Crips, MS-13, KKK and several other gang populations together look miniscule in comparison. They control whole countries. They write textbooks to "educate" new generations of themselves for places like Saudi Arabia, Syria and Palestine. It's a bit bigger problem than a little bit of gang violence and drug trafficking.

A major exhibition of work by French-American sculptor Louise Bourgeois is to be held at Tate Modern...

These people have been fighting for thousands of years, I dont 't trully believe there is a way to stop them from hating us...But if your aware of the fact that these countries are the herion capitals of the world, then you can understand that there is no dealing with herion addicts....not logiclly anyways... We could always teach them the same lesson that we taught japan....They are a lot less aggresive now days....I personally would rather fight them on there land instead of ours....

I am sick to death of people trying to manipulate me with pictures that are obviously altered. Look carefully at the "font" of these supposedly hand lettered signs the protestors are carrying. There are individual letters that are identical from word to word. This is the work of some juvenile delinquent with access to PhotoShop and time on his/her hands. I cannot however deduce the motive behind such behavior. Yes these protestors are nuts but are we generalizing about all Islamists when we see these pictures? And why is someone adding fuel to the fire by manipulating these images?

I recieved these photos at work, and I must say, I made exactly the same observation as Ralph did. So i decided to investigate and found a link to this among other things, and the posts have been informative, but I'm still not sold on this. Yes these people and their opinions do exist, I have no doubt of that, but as Ralp pointed out, either 1 person has written all of these because he's the only person in the group who can write in english, or yeah, photoshop fakes. Im not going to stick like glue to anything, but im leaning towards the fakes, all the 'S' look like '5' and all seem to be the same ink pen in the same hand writing.

To Jeremy: Regarding your comment "I like to believe that the entire Muslim community does not share those thoughts", you may like to believe that the moon is made of blue Cheese, but that doesn't make it so. Of course the entire Muslim community doesn't share those views, but enough do to be cause for concern.
