If they don't like it they should stay in their Islamic countries, and if they break the law here they should be arrested.

I told you that I agreed with you that they should stay.twice.
But the muslims who aren't on the same page as me see it as not exercising freedom of speech, but delibaratly insulting their faith. They don't see the journalists going "Hey you know what we don't agree with this cartoonist point of view, or we do, but the overall message we are trying to send is that as a newspaper we can print whatever we want", the people that are rioting and causing the chaos are hearing "Hey dude what should we do to piss of Muslim people and belittle their religion? print Cartoons with the prophet mohammad? sounds cool. Woah these cartoons fucking suck, but as long as some muslims get mad we can say that we won a battle agains the deviant religion of Islam. Serious braw this is the best idea we had since flushing a koran down the toilet in gitmo."
