Holocaust Cartoons?
Middle-Easterners are a crazy bunch. A crazy confused bunch. Okay, so a newspaper printed a cartoon about Prophet Muhammad, a little insulting perhaps, but not illegal. This is a moral issue we're dealing with here, there's nothing at all legally wrong with the printing of those cartoons. Maybe it wasn't so wise to insult an already overly sensitive people. And these people aren't the type to just break down and cry when insulted, they're not your girlfriend back in secondary school who you broke up with because she was fat. These people aren't proponents of the proportional response either. They hit back really really hard. And outrageously too.
Look, some of my best friends have been Muslims, and they haven't been bad people. The cartoon made a generalisation of the Muslims all around the world, and that was wrong. Apparently, some Muslims have now taken to not depriving the world of their persona as protrayed by the cartoon. Protests turned violent have only solidified the image of Muslims as terrorists. Their actions, burning the Danish flag and such, have enforced the cartoon with credibility that was previously questionable. And how dare they torch a church!! The stupid bastards. For all you know, it was a Jew who came up with the idea for the cartoon. Or a Hindu. And what's that nonsense about the cartoon about the holocaust. Why bring the Poles into this. These protesters, with their tiny-nearly-nonexsistent brains, have taken to generalising the cartoon as the image of Islam among westerners and Europeans. Well, sure.. go ahead and burn another church, that'll help improve that image. Stupid fuck-ups.

Well worded. But the thing is, if you look at the issue deeply down the its very crux, you'd realise that these barbaric zealots do not have the capacity to THINK or RATIONALISE for the same reason why someone from the North Pole would not know how to ride a horse.
Simply put, they only know violence, they only know blind allegiance to their faith and they are instilled with the fear of "suffering in Hell" should they even question the teachings of their religious leaders.
It's the system they're in that creates them. And yet the system cannot be changed because those select few who holds the reins of control LOVE the power they possess and in turn, twist the interpretations of a centuries old religion even murkier in the hopes of furthering their own agendas.
It's a vicious cycle. I'm just sad that the actions of these few have tarnished the reputations of Muslims as a whole, and I offer my sympathies to my fellow Malay friends who are sensible Muslims.
