I am unsure if you have noticed but some Muslims (not all of course) like to run amuck from time to time. There are those Fundamental Muslims that are seemingly easily provoked. Like currently with the cartoon controversy where a very small, unknown Danish news paper (that publishes in Danish mind you) printed some cartoons from a Mohammad cartoon contest. Granted this was not the most sensitive way to approach this Icon of this pardon me volatile religion but they did. Now I have been brain washed into believing I am from a free press society so I find that freedom of press is our right, is it not? granted corporations control our information working with the government but we can more or less express ourselve without getting tortured or sent to Gitmo. Ok, more or less but more so than in the Muslim world where this cartoon has "provoked" mobs into burning embassies (an act of war?) and destroying whatever was in their rampaging path.
The West need not accept these senseless outbursts. We must combat violent fanatics everywhere and we cannot allow violence and coercion to dictate our press or any other part of our free society. This cartoon has nothing to do with Iraq and some Muslims are violent and angry.
My point is that I think there is no appeasing or rationalizing with groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Al Quaeda. We must eradicate them and all terrorist for they are causing misery and instability. There are those who view us in the US and West as Evil and the enemy of Islam. This is a cultural and religious war between the two societies that do not represent the average person from either culture for most normal, moderate people want just to live their lives. The oil is one small but influential part of a greater Pan-radical Islam (Global,economic, environmental) threat that is aiming to spread the world with its views of radical Islam while meanwhile the neocons take our freedoms away to fight those who want to take our freedoms away. If you do look at a map you can see a chart of the growth of Islam and how it is the fastest growing religion and on it's fringes of expansion the areas are all areas of conflict. I am not saying by any means that all are even most Muslims are a threat but specifically it is the branch of radical Islam that clearly are behind the numerous suicide attacks in Iraq and elsewhere. This must stop and I hope that the moderate Muslims will speak up and make themselves heard! Moderate Islam can have a great influence in the Muslim world if they tried but for now we must deal with extremist with caution but resolutely.
Paris, London, New York are few of the cities that large Muslim rioting could occur and cause lots of damage and disruption. This is far more dangerous than terror. We must not allow these fundamentalist Muslims along with the Bush adminstration to take away or freedoms for I am sure the BUsh’s appreciate this the Arab Dictator methods of control and government full control of press and encourage it. We also must not allow radical muslims to interfere with our relations with moderate Muslims that account for many people among us and in the world.
What to do with out inflamming the whole Islam world I am unsure but I know by cowarding from it we will invite large scale disaster and a huge threat to our Western ideals good and bad alike.
