Because of this
These violent outbreaks are only proving that what the artist is saying is true.
I was hesitant about posting this and getting involved, but this whole thing is ridiculous! There have been cartoons drawn about Mohammad and Islam for a long, long time...many of them published without complaint or uprising, but once in awhile they have to go apeshit and have a reason to destroy something "western." As one of my previous posts recounts, there was all this chaos caused by some of the muslim world in March 1997 when someone brought it to their attention that their dear prophet's image is carved in stone on the U.S. Supreme Court Building!
Oooooo you had better be glad you don't have an embassy over there....ha ha
