Just when I start sticking up for Hamas and the Palestinian people, they go ahead and do something stupid. Fine, make me look stupid.

“Whoever defames our prophet should be executed,” said Ismail Hassan, a tailor who marched in the pouring rain with hundreds of other Muslims in the West Bank city of Ramallah. “Bin Laden our beloved, Denmark must be blown up,” the protesters chanted.

All this hub-bub is over caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, first published in a Danish newspaper in September, one of which depicted the prophet wearing a turban shaped as a bomb.

Some European newspapers reprinted the caricatures this week, prompting protests Friday in Britain, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Palestinian areas. In Sudan, some even urged al-Qaida terrorists to target Denmark.

“Strike, strike, Bin Laden,” shouted some in a crowd of about 50,000 who filled a Khartoum square.

OK, pardon my French, but these people are @!#$%*! insane! To go nuts over free speech and expression, but forgive suicide rejects? If these people want democracy, they have to get with the program. Free expression is what makes this world great. Freedom of thought and speech drive culture. You can’t summon Bin Laden every time you disagree with what someone does.

Enter The 21st Century, Muslims

Islamic law, based on clerics’ interpretation of the Quran and the sayings of the prophet, forbids any depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, even positive ones, to prevent idolatry.

So it’s not OK to represent Muhammad in a good light, and feel proud of your religion, but it’s OK to idolize suicide murderers and call them martyrs? There is too much idolatry when it comes to pea-brained losers who blow themselves up.

If Muslims are going to riot and try to bring down the Denmark government over some stupid pictures, then peace in the Middle East is as distant as the far edges of space. In plain terms, “it’s not gonna happen.”

Update! 02.08.06
Muslim clerics are calling an end to the senseless violence. Oh, now they see it’s senseless! I guess it took Pakistan to shoot and kill four protesters trying to get on a military base? I feel bad for a people that are so insecure about their religion they need to guard it with a sword.

Update! 02.07.06
Ok, these people rioting are just plain idiots. Nothing else can be said for them. If a comic pisses you off this much, your civilization is doomed. There is no hope for you people. Maybe if these Muslim governments would work on the unemployment rate in their countries, these idiots wouldn’t have time to demonstrate, and would have to work. Then, they would be too tired to waste their time in such stupidity.

Update! 02.06.06
Muslim protesters have been stoning and/or burning Danish embassies across the Middle Eastern countries. These people look like savages and animals. I don’t care what your position is, you don’t riot, kill, maim, or torch buildings. Act civilized! A few people have been killed already. Religion kills. I don’t. I’m losing faith in the Muslim people to bring themselves into the 21st century. As it stands, all they have is oil. When that’s gone, or we don’t need them anymore, they will be a doomed society in my estimation unless they hurry up and change their ways.
