I Wouldn't Call It "Rage" Media Spin

More death and destruction in Islamic nations today, ostensibly over the Jyllands-Posten cartoons. ABC (US) Radio had a sound bite from a Muslim apololgist:

There is a pent-up anger, a pent-up rage, at the West, because we are not in control of our destinies.

Rage at the West? More like pre-fabricated, government-sanctioned "protests," prepared over four months since they were first published on 2005-September-30. How do we know this? Because we also have three cartoons which were not published, one of which has been identified. Omar at Iraq the Model speculates that only a few middle eastern Muslims have seen the cartoons.

Middle eastern Muslims may not be in control of their destinies, but it's obvious who are the manipulators. Shame on ABC Radio for running such a soundbite without response.

Oh, really? Says who? You? I am amazed at the depth of your insight.

Let's say I submit (!) to your self-authorized edict. Will you tomorrow say I'm not allowed to talk about Jesus Christ, like the infidels in Saudi Arabia aren't allowed? When that happens, it will be just a few short weeks until I'm paying jizya. If I give you an inch of my freedom, you'll take the whole mile.

Don't try to censor me, and don't try to censor the Jyllands-Posten. If the truth about the "riots" is so offensive to you, then you need to find a new way to look at the world.

abu,

That may be the case where your live. But the Danes have every "right" to publish the photos. Tell us why you believe people shouldn't have the right to free speech?
