Angry Muslims Upset at the Pope

What better way to demonstrate that you belong to a "Religion of Peace" than to riot and burn effigies of the Pope?

Admittedly, I am no big fan of Islam but I am at least willing to buy the argument that the majority of Muslims are peaceful, decent people. However it is increasingly difficult to hold this politically correct opinion when any perceived slight against Islam is met with angry demonstrations, calls for personal apologies, burning effigies, attacks on churches, murder, and warnings of more violence.

I continue to be disgusted with these displays of anger that should not be tolerated in a civilized society, much less a civilized religion. Muslims continue to assert Islam is a peaceful religion, the revealed truth of God, and that the West should not fear Islam, but if any discussion of Islam which includes any criticism, no matter how remote, cannot be openly held without fear of retaliation, then maybe we should.
