   Bless Benazir Bhutto’s heart — and her security detail! Why aren’t there more leaders like her? She wasnt’ perfect, but she wasn’t fascist.

   There is no cure for the hatred, ignorance and cowardice like the brand that’s on display here.

   Another example of the large, gaping difference between the Religion of Peace and those of us who believe otherwise. If those of us who have a Judeo-Christian value set were into beheading those who disagreed, there would not be anyone left in that part of the world.

   I recently had a ‘discussion’ regarding Muslim ‘honesty and fairness’. I referred her to your column. she refuses to look at it, citing Bush as the example that causes the world problems. Doesn’t seem to matter whether it is Muslim or Liberal issues. Blindness to truth is a terrible desease.

   How do I get the flag and effigy concession in Kabul?

   Don’t these people have jobs?

   How about the British government round these folks up and deport them to Pakistan? Salman becomes Sir Salman, law abiding Brits get their country back and the muslims get to move back to the 7th century where they can seethe and whine as much as they want. Win, Win, Win.

    Has the British government come out with any stronger responses since the initial post on this?

    I’ve always wondered what the reaction would be if Brits or Americans held a similar type protest burning Pakistani flags outside the embassy.

    Whatever, the Queen Knights the Author of a lousy unreadable book, which never would of been read except for the controversy surrounding it; and the Pakistanis honor a mass murder and terrorist in response.

    What kind of response would we get if we responded to every muslim act of terror with an effigy burning of mohammed? Or possibly set a mosque on fire?

    First off we’d all be arrested for hate speech.

    For a religion which so freely and venomously insults and attacks other religions, it is contemptible for the arrogant and supremacist Muslims to demand we respect their feelings. And we should never concede an inch of our freedom of speech to the Muslim barbarians.

    Let’s see today is Friday. The normal day that muslims gather in their indoctination centers and get their orders and updated seething talking points from their pedophile worshipping leaders. The more adept i”m a mommas boy will also have the appropiate flags and protest signs along with some cans of gasoline and matches to hand out to the audience.
    Friday should just be officially named “The Muslim Day of Seething”.

    How long until we see these kind of protests directed at Christopher Hitchens for his new book, “God is not Great”? He’ll probably be next on the death fatwa list. How dare these authors hurt the poor Muslims’ feelings. *sniffle*

    Isn’t this in part encouraged by the whole British sailor thing? England has rolled over for Islamists for years, but that sorry episode “proved” to Muslims that the English will not fight them even if pushed to.

    Had the British sank a few Iranian boats and deported everyone who ever blurted out praise for Jihad, I’d bet these protests would be much more subdued.

    I’m sure you are correct! I picked a stateside store for those of us who’d like to do our own Pakistani flag-burning demonstration on Fridays.

    We can also all get our Union Jacks there should Britain strongly speak out and tell the radicals NO!

    muslims complaining about hurt feelings and sensitivity of other religions is laughable, considering all the anti-jewish, anti-christian propaganda and books put out DAILY in the muslim world and even in western mosques. Can they really not see the unfathomable depths of their own hypocrisy? Unreal.

    As well as arson, or possibly murder, and rightly so.

    Use your head. Muslims who burn and destroy and riot in response to whatever has offended them are little better than animals.

    Americans, despite what so many of my unenlightened Canadian countrymen say, are not animals. Responding to the hysterical overreaction of radical Muslims with hysterical overreaction is not rational, and in fact counterproductive. America, and the West it leads, is better than that.

    Radical Islam must be dealt with, harshly and unequivocally; but mindlessly lashing out and burning down mosques and effigies of Mohammed would not solve the problem, satisfying though it may be on a gut level.

    That would play directly into the hands of Islamic animals, in the same way that Hizbollah manufactured outrage against Israel by firing at them from hospitals and schoolyards, drawing fire that they knew would kill their own children.

    Target their money, and its sources; shine light on them, as does Michelle and her brave co-bloggers; and, perhaps most importantly, distinguish between decent, reasonable Muslims and the vindictive, evil, radical fascists. Isolate the latter and THEN destroy them.

    That is difficult, because the reality is that Islam creates an environment in which evil can easily flourish. I do not for a moment subscribe to the notion that Islam is a “religion of peace.”

    “It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and do that.” — Churchill

    However, a disaffected Muslim is not the same as a radical, violent jihadist, and the latter is a real threat. Burning down the former’s mosque simply creates more of the latter.
