You can be as anti-semetic as you want in America. In a free country, lot of people will "disrespect" your religion by believing in another religion. However, it is mainly the Islamic religion who has such a fundamentalist following that they will riot based on a cartoon.
Who said that in Islam, you have to be of another faith to disrespect our religion? Get your facts straight, and dont say "Islam does, Islam is, OR Islam says" without your proof. Islam is PERFECT, its followers arent, but it is.
The riot was not just based on the cartoon itself, this was an made to be an insult for no apparent reason, and if you cant understand that than you must not have beliefs of your own to follow.
Islam does not need to be modernized like other religions in order for people to fall in love with it and convert, amazing how it is the fastest growing religion without it having to be modernized and unlike other religions, we do not accept for the true word of Allah to be corrupted, sorry its just not gonna happen..and it wont ever happen without the Will of Allah.
Mess with the prophet (pbuh) and your messing with billions of people. We're not going to stop to a cartoon so that you can continue your laughs and jokes, it just doesnt work that way.
You speak of freedom, are you going to tell us that we dont have the freedom to riot and protect our name, get real..we dont need a country to tell us what we are free to do or not do, we were given that oppertunity over 1400 years ago and it will run in our bloods till the day this world ends.
