Guess Pakistan is begging to end up on our terror list also-let's do it. Down with extremists.

You know they are going to put to far one day and then they will cry because even liberals are getting sick and tired of there cry baby attitudes so once we remove the neo cons from power you may be dealing with those that are not going to worry about the horrors of war.

And the Muslim world again demonstrates that it is advanced, civilized and worthy of respect.

""We have to look at the root causes of militancy," Ijaz ul Haq, Pakistan's Minister for Religious Affairs told CBS News. "The root cause is that you are giving knighthood to someone who commits blasphemy. This leads to extremism and there is a danger of people considering suicide attacks in retaliation. He must be de-knighted immediately."

Oh, yeah ... the root cause of some loony blowing himself up is someone 10,000 miles away whom he has never met getting a knighthood. I'd have to say if you are so unstable that something like that sets you off, you are the root cause of the problem. Maybe you should be "de-lifed" immediately. What a classic case of the "We're evil and insane but you're making us that way" argument. Go *** yourself, Mr. Minister.

God forbid someone draw a cartoon of Rushdie getting knighted; the $hit will really hit the fan then!

Really, its a very dangerous move by the Queen. Being an indian I better understand that this can lead to unimaginable destruction. You can understand what I mean.

"Diplomats from Muslim countries have warned that Britain's move could serve not only to provoke fresh protests in Islamic countries"

And ususlly these protests result in the deaths of many of these protestors. They kill each other even when united in a cause. The cartoon issue tallied up quite a few dead, I wonder how many will be buried in this one. No wonder the modern world has a diffcult time with these archaic cultures.

If they cannot treat America and Britain with respect then respect should not be asked (demanded) from us.

When will muslims realize that the world goes on? The rest of the world should not be expected to run everything we do by the muslims to see if they will be offended. Anyway, since when do they need a new excuse to murder?
