Well. Now they've started burning things.
Surely, this is an appropriate response to a cartoon:
Quote:
Hundreds of protestors threw stones at and then set fire to the Norwegian Embassy in Damascus on Saturday in a protest against cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammad which were published by a Norwegian magazine.
The protestors, who just stormed the nearby Danish Embassy building in downtown Damascus and set it on fire, marched on to the Norwegian Embassy and broke through police barriers and torched the building.

I disagree. Freedom of speech precisely ensures that I can say somthing that offends someone elses religious beliefs. Thier beliefs do not control mine.

I'm really sick of this whole thing. They are being totally unreasonable. It was a cartoon. Get over it. You have the right to be offended, fine. Be offended. I'd do the same thing, except I wouldn't set anything on fire, or threaten to behead anyone.
Religion Of Peace™ for sure...
