I guess I agree, but I detest what she's doing. Muslims in America aren't like Muslims in Europe. We aren't 10% of the population, and overly represented in crime and poverty. We are the most educated and most wealthy group in America after Jews, and we are .6% of the population. She's holding a disgusting event like this, counting on the fact that it only takes one nut with a gun to get the (right-wing) media talking about the dangers of Islam taking over America. Guess what, if you held a contest for drawing black-people like baboons, that event would have gotten blown-away. That's not an indictment on black people, but on hideous provocations like this using "free-speech" as their shield.

So the promoters of this event are at least partially responsible because it represented a "hideous provocation" under the guise of free speech?

That's what worries me about Islam. You seemed to indicate that a Muslim resorting to violence would be a nut, so I'm guessing you'd describe yourself as a moderate (or even a liberal), at least in relation to radicals. But you're still offering excuses for the violence.

Guess what? Your stupid religion doesnt occupy a special position above the other stupid religions. Nobody cares that you get butthurt because people that aren't members of your religion don't follow the rules of your religion. Check that, people DO care, because they're scared of the consequences of offending adherents to a religion where even the "moderates" excuse the violence perpetrated by the fringe. Fuck you, fuck super gay Mohammad, and fuck Allah the Lord of Cocksuckers.
