Regardless of whether anyone believes they are right or not, in the Eyes of Muslims around the World what happened was a Blasphemy against their Prophet.

They aren't rioting because they are only slightly irritated about it, They're foaming at the mouth ENRAGED about it.

They are rioting, because what happened was the Christian Equivalent to someone drawing a cartoon of Jesus taking it in the ass.

Why SHOULD it need to make sense to anyone else but them?

NOBODY gets that fucking mad over a cartoon, for no reason.

Muslims believe it is a HUGE "Sin" to attempt to depict the Image of the Prophet Mohammed in ANY way.

Religions throughout history, have started wars for MUCH LESS.

They do realize that everyone doesn't agree with their religious views, but why should that matter to them?

It shouldn't.

They are wholly entitled to feel passionately about their beliefs, as are all of the religious groups around the world.

Of course it's going to seem Extreme to Westerners like ourselves, but our own Nation's History is full of events akin to this one.

Religious Group A pissed off Religious Group B and the next things you know people are slaughtering Mormons.

It happened time and time again.

And it will continue to happen until the Earth stops turning..

It simply doesn't make good sense to persecute another Religious Group because their beliefs don't make sense to you.

They don't have to, they only have to make sense to them.

My 1.9 Cents on the Issue.
