ThreE QuestionS

My first question is this:

The Muzlim women, if thats what you can call these particular ones in Qum, (the second most sacred city in Iran) need a serious geography lesson.
Due to “sketches”, which were viewed as anti-Izlamic, women in Qum gathered around a holy place, a shrine and burned the Israeli flag.

O.K. am I missing something here?
The alleged offenders were Danish, and somehow yet again there is cause to burn the flag of Israel? If someone sees the logical deduction here. .please clue us all in.

In addition to the usual ranting, threatening and general barbaric responses- "Thousands of Syrians enraged by caricatures of Islam's revered prophet torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus on Saturday “… In Indonesia they stormed the Danish Embassy.
NY Times

Buildings were burned down over a perceived insult in a cartoon.

“In Gaza, Palestinians marched through the streets, storming European buildings and burning German and Danish flags. Protesters smashed the windows of the German cultural center and threw stones at the European Commission building..”

Hamas called the cartoons "an unforgivable insult" that merited punishment by death.
That’s right..they said Death.

Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said she understood Muslims were hurt — though that did not justify violence.
Correct me if I'm mistaken , but isn't that the very first lesson you teach your child in this life…Just because your feelings got hurt doesn't mean you have a right to hit someone. Is that not the sole difference between a human who is cultured and civilized and a human who lives by raw nature and barbarian impulses?

Which brings me to my second question:


What are Muzlim leaders and average "so called innocent civilians" doing to dissociate their faith from these extreme and violent measures to which things are being taken by the terrorists? Do you see rallies, public protestations by Muzlim clerics and citizens with respect to this deplorable behavior in the Muzlim world? I don't hear a peep.

Which leads me to my third question:


Iconoclastic expressions in America are generally condemned as being in bad taste. Despite this- there have been and are "so called artists" in America who create images deriding Christ. And as abhorrent as this is to most Americans – they do not burn down buildings or threaten to murder- in protest.Insulting and DerisorY material about women is so routine , it goes almost completely unnoticed.

This is not to say that this type of material should be remotely condoned…but one of the most
striking aspects of these recent events is the leverage of the Muzlim world, especially when there are perceived insults or "wounded feelings".
Did you happen to notice that No One in AmericA will publish the ‘cartoons'. For those who did not view them on the Internet, it is being described and left to the imagination.
Why is that?
The Press won't go near this one. Not even the self loathing N.Y. Times.
Not even the rags who will stoop to the lowest level and publish just about AnYthinG to get a good 'story."

Have they become sufficiently frightened?
It would seem that they have been served notice ..and they are complying.
While the aggrieved Muzlim “believers” call for executions, our country’s press is opting for censorship.
Pornography won't get censored.
Ads which offend women won't get censored.
Images which offend Christians or Jews won't get censored.
But…..THIS ..the press has been intimidated enough to refuse to reproduce.

My third question is:
WHY?
