that Many Muslims are very very passionate about their Beliefs. It is also well known that there is no greater insult to people of the Muslim faith than insulting the prophet. Rushdie was not intending to create that level of turmoil. This Guy was seriously hoping to create an October surprise it is no accident of the timing of this video. Now I have no proof that this was there number one intention. but from what I have read, it is the conclusion that I am drawing. And you now what, if you play with fire you deserve to get burned. They knew they would inflame these people's passion about the Prophet, because it's been done before with Rushdie with the Danish Guy and the Cartoon. IF a Cartoon would set them off, just think what a VIDEO WOULD DO!!!

I just don't think he should be our propblem, if he wants to start an international incident then he has earned the consequences whatever that maybe. and let that be a lesson to anyone else who thinks it's ok to purposely incite the rage of a massive group of people for political reasons.

I knew they'd get him on probation violation. There's not much else they can do MADem Sep 2012 #1
