Alladin, please show me one person here that has defended the rioters. Not a poster here is apologizing for them or defending them (their right to protest yes, the right to enact violent protest, no).

I know looking for "root causes" is difficult. Blind hatred is much easier. Carry on.

As for the alleged suicide bombing that killed (at present count) 31 and injured 50, it is believed to be part of an ongoing conflict between Shi'ite Muslims and Sunni Muslims. Of course, these sorts of conflicts should be condemned. Not only do I find any form of intolerance idiotic but resorting to violence to solve these sorts of conflict doubly so.

I do not point to Protestant vs. Catholic (hell, Catholic vs. Orthodox) to say, "well if they did it it must be OK" (I believe in that particular paragraph you both called me a child and an islamofacsist... a first!). I am simply pointing out, that in this case, Muslims do not corner the market on religious intolerance and interncine conflict.

What I am reacing to here is the immediate leap to condmenation and hatred that so many of our more "right leaning" members share. The ability to hate and condemn tens of millions of people over the actions of thousands is mind bogglingly short sighted.
