Enough lessons from these reactionary bigots!

I brought this merely for the sake of discussion, I'm not saying, "Hey look! It's not just the Muslims!"

Sorry, it just seemed like that was the implication. You contributed it to the debate, so I took it the wrong way.

So then let's discuss it-- what does this example in Greece say? How does it compare to what's going on in the Middle East???

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.

I think you're right, that it is a little bit of Islam, a little bit of tyranny, poverty, and all that stuff. I guess maybe the world would like to see perhaps a louder condemnation of that tiny, vocal minority.

The website I provided earlier which apologized to Denmark and Norway actually represents the opinions of the majority.

How do you know this? I think you're right, that no country or faith should be judged simply for what a vocal minority does, but I think the response by the press in Tehran is a fine example of the silent majority just not "getting it."
