And what was my argument in the first place? "This is wrong." Was I making excuses for their behavior? No. I already admitted to the fact that they were grossly overreacting and I even used another example (what happened in Holland) to back my statement up. I brought this merely for the sake of discussion, I'm not saying, "Hey look! It's not just the Muslims!"
But when a moron concludes that this is the result of Islam, that's when things get retarded. It has everything to do with these people's culture and upbringing, and nothing to do with their personal beliefs. I consider myself a devout Muslim, but never in my life would I dare to threaten someone with violence especially over something so pitiful like this. I would defend my faith and my prophet, place him in the highest platform and leave it at that. 65 people in Bahrain were the only ones protesting. 65. And they, too, made the news, giving everyone the impression that all of Bahrain was reacting as badly. Guess what? Most of these people were street kids who were just happy to find a reason to riot and yell at shit. Members of parliament are burning flags to take the attention off of them, since they were being heavily critisized.
I think that should say something about those who blindly assume it's "Islam!" and not just the stupidity of the few. This goes for "terrorism" in general, as well. The website I provided earlier which apologized to Denmark and Norway actually represents the opinions of the majority.
