One thing that a lot of people dont understand about the Islamic world is that the mass of the population is uneducated. Most of these portestors have not seen the cartoons. The religion should not be balmed, it's the leaders of the religion that are calling the shots, the Imams, the governements who are usually Islamic radicals that have no interest in chaging because they would lose power over the people. They dont want the Islamic people to change to get educated to go forward because they know that if they do they will end up like the Church who lost it's power over the followers concluding in less and less people beleiving in religions...I am not saying it's a bad thing but the the leaders of the Islamic world do not want that to happen.

Most of the Arab world does not know what is going on the world, they dont have access to internet, they dont have acces to information like us. I mean, a report foundthat the total number of books translated into Arabic yearly is no more than 330, or one-fifth of those translated in a small country like Greece. How are they sopposed to be able to be diplomatic about issues like these?

We all know that the wolrd is not at peace right now, and it is just common sence that the news paper editors should've never let this happen! the islamics people are WRONG no doubt about that, however why would we give them something more to fight about?
