Bizarro Islam

So I've been thinking about this whole cartoon holy war going on and after watching the media reports I had to ask myself: Am I the only one on this planet who thinks Muslims are overreacting? The media keeps treating the Muslim reaction as a normal response to being offended. Many columnists, reporters, and letter writers have asked "wouldn't you feel the same if someone offended your God?" Sure, I might feel the same, but I wouldn't act the same. And that's what differentiates Islam from other religions. Jews don't burn flags and bomb shopping malls everytime someone denies the holocaust and Hindus don't fly planes into buildings everytime someone in the West eats a hamburger. Instead, other religions work within the system and express their outrage within the boundaries of the rule of law.

In light of the flag burnings, murders, embassy vandalism, and calls for mass destruction it's getting more and more difficult to defend Islam. After September 11, western Muslim leaders kept telling everyone that the perpetrators of the attacks were not representative of Islam, but mislead extremists. After watching the cartoon violence I don't think that explanation holds. I see millions of Muslims burning flags, shooting AK-47's, and calling for the the murder of westerners on a nightly basis. It's not a handful of people doing this, it's millions. In fact, it's only a handful of Muslims saying the violence isn't right. On the news you see a few million Muslims in a blood frenzy and then some lone cleric from Toronto saying violence isn't the answer.

The Islamic world has become a bizarro world where the moderates are the extremists.

UPDATE: Muslims are insane psychopathic.
