Lest anyone is in doubt about my stance on this whole Middle East issue, let me tell you quickly where I am at.
I feel very sorry for the many mild mannered muslims who are being mistaken for belonging to the group of flag burning nutjobs in the press these days. I hope my fellow danes on the receiving end of this petulent hate campaign will remember that not all muslims are raging zealots.
I always make a mental effort to differentiate between islamists and muslims. The latter are regularly religious people who believe islam is about love and understanding, much like your garden variety christians. Islamists tend more towards being fervent hate-mongers who believe the infidels that don’t believe in sticking their women into burkas should be snuffed out by their brethren in dynamite vests.
The former I have absolutely no beef with, other than my regular disaccord with the choice of religion over science and facts.
The latter I would like to die horrible deaths, much like the ones they like to videotape themselves bestowing on various westerners.
There is absolutely no place for people without the capacity for rational argument and debate in my version of modern society.
And no, I really don’t think it’s wrong to kill people who are that far gone when trying to protect our own societies from their zealotry. But you better be real damn sure who you are pointing your gun at before you pull the trigger.
Update:
Khaled at Broken Kode turns out to be the moderate type of muslim. He wrote an article about this whole affair, which is a view I really appreciated.
Read Khaleds article here.
Cristopher at Restiffbard also comments on the case, and his words could pretty much be my words. I completely agree with Cristopher that the muslim states need to get their house in order.
I basically think that whatever validity the complaint against the 12 drawings once had, has completed been drowned out by crazy embassy-torching fuckers.
More on this later.
