It's great that most of the Muslim world is responding peacefully, but where is the condemnation from them of the people who aren't? And why is it ok to boycott an entire country based on what one newpsaper printed?
What bothers me more than anything is the frequent use of violence in the radical Islamic world in response to offense, and the sheer hypocrisy of it. I've seen the cartoons featured in the Muslim world that portray Jews and/or Israel as devils and pigs and Sharon and Bush as monsters eating Muslim babies, and they are nothing short of sick. The fact that they frequently depict Jews as Nazis while themselves using the exact same anti-semitic propaganda (look at what Jews look like in their illustrations) that the Nazis used is mind-blowing.
