-Aryan (ie Christian) Germans kill 6 million Jews. No outrage from the Christian world (until societal pressure forced them to apologize).
-Incan and Mayan cultures conquered and massacred by Spanish conquerors in the name of God. No outrage from the Christian world.
-Millions of Africans brought to the Americas to be slave workers to "civilize" them. No outrage from the Christian world.
-Native Americans exterminated or confined to reservations during the Great Plains wars of the late 1800's, on the basis of manifest destiny (basically, that Americans were to subdue the land as stated in Genesis). Active support from the Christian world.

The conquests of the Christian world of the New World, in the name of God and with support of the church, with an estimated 10's of millions of people killed, have had a more violent and profound impact than Muslim terrorism has had.

A person is expressing their views but there are no bomb threats or burning of flags.

Tark, you are correct though. There are limitations to free speech. I can't yell fire in a crowded movie theater for one.
That painting is not sicdulatd in the most popular news paper in the US... not really the same.
And kestrel is right, the musil fate governs alot of the followers life. Pray 5X a day, and so on but also in the middle east, the countries laws are sometime based on the quran... Same quran that Mohamed wrote.

The Muslim religious fanatics are doing the same things that Christianity was doing at the times of crusades; convert or die.

And I'll be damned if I convert.

I just get a laugh out of how fanatical they are about making fun of their religion, society, or beliefs.

Oh well, just shows the world how crazy they really are.

that may be, but terrorist suicide bombers are the majority of muslims seen by the rest of the world and quite frankly it is up to the muslim population to break that stereotype. personally, i haven't seen much, if anything, that the muslim population is doing to do so.

what the hell are you idiots talking about?

no outrage.. right. not only does this not happen anymore, but these are all highly sensitive subjects, and to this day we still erect monuments, are still apologizing, and teach every one of these things in our schools so that we can LEARN FROM OUR PAST! i don't understand your points. because the world has a tumultuous past, that makes what radical muslims are doing as ok? it's excusable? hey, they did it! so can we! and besides that i take issue with some of the comparisons made here. no outrage over nazi germany? what the f*ck do you consider WW2 to be? a birthday party?

besides, it's all completely irrelevant. what's boortz is doing in that piece is comparing the muslim nation's reactions versus ITSELF. they shit their pants at a cartoon, and go absolutely nutty, yet they don't give a crap that their people are killing innocent men, women, and children day in and day out.

and by the way, christians get made fun of EVERYWHERE, EVERY FREAKIN' DAY! i can easily find at least one thing a day making fun of Christ, or the Christian religion. "no outrage from the Christian world."

way to screw up a point, guys..
