MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) - Nigerian Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches on Saturday, killing at least 15 people in the deadliest confrontation yet in the whirlwind of Muslim anger over the drawings.

It was the first major protest to erupt over the issue in Africa's most populous nation. An Associated Press reporter saw mobs of Muslim protesters swarm through the city center with machetes, sticks and iron rods. One group threw a tire around a man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze.

In Libya, the parliament suspended the interior minister after at least 11 people died when his security forces attacked rioters who torched the Italian consulate in Benghazi.

At the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, Qatar, U.S. Undersecretary of State Karen Hughes said U.S. newspapers generally did not reprint the caricatures ``because they recognize they are deeply offensive, even blasphemous to the precious convictions of our Muslim friends and neighbors.'' {PWP - We know that statement to be false, given the repeated printing of the Maddona covered with crap or the crucifix in a bottle of urine pictures}
Grand Imam Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi of al-Azhar University, the world's highest Sunni Muslim seat of learning said the Danish prime minister must apologize for the drawings and further demanded that the world's religious leaders meet to write a law that ``condemns insulting any religion, including the Holy Scriptures and the prophets.'' He said the United Nations should impose the law on all countries.

Sharia (Islamic Law) is coming. First to Europe as demographics evolve over the next generation and the Muslim populace votes it in. Then...

Starting with the Iraq war, the west has certainly stirred the pot. The world is getting a lot safer with every day that Bush's foreign policy goes by, or I suppose you think it's just coincidence the rise of Muslim extremism since Bush became president.

Were they bombing our embassies and our soldiers buildings prior to Bush getting elected?

So what were we doing then to provoke their attack? Liberating Kuwait from Iraq? Trying to relieve suffering in Somalia? Trying to redevelop Haiti? Saving the Muslims from genocide in Yugoslavia? Which was it?

The fact is these people only seem to know violence (look at the history of the region) and it is obvious by their reaction to some cartoons published in a newspaper that had nothing to do with the US. How about the riots in France a country seemingly on their side, it is people such as yourself that hold the belief that they are only reacting to our aggressions, not out of hatred of everything non-muslim, that allow this to happen. By not having the outright condemnation of the entire world calling out the leaders of the non-extreme muslims then this will continue whether America is in Iraq or not, this would be going on even if we didn't go into Iraq, they would use anything that happened in Afghanistan as propaganda for their cause. They are rioting world wide over cartoons, let me repeat that they are rioting world wide over cartoons they are not sane people, maybe it is the strictness of their religion the pents up all this frustration and hatred, I don't know the only thing I know is they are dangerous and they need to be dealt with and that is the true difference that Iraq is making at this point, the fight is being fought on their soil not ours.

Makes me wonder if your selective memory goes back further than 2000.

Of course, it wasn't Muslim Extremists, like the 1970 attack on a school bus (9 children, 3 adults), or the 1974 Maalot Massacre, or the airliners it brought down.

Islam was founded on violent principles, and the only way to solve the problem is to remove it from the face of the earth. Islam has no place in the world today.

It's my distinct impression that Muslim fundamentalists have gained power since 2000. Do you disagree with that? Before 2000, Muslim radicals engaged in terrorism, but I think things have been getting worse. I don't think things have been this bad since the 1960s or so.

Chevy, as to your point that Islam was founded in violent principles, so was Christianity. It did not take long before nonbelievers were subjected to all sorts of abuse right into at least the century. In fact, the reason the Middle East is so backward is because of the abusive measures used during Colonialism to try to impose western (ergo Christian) values.

Everything that happened prior to 2000 is minor compared to where we are now.

The olympics were minor? The towers in Saudi? Somalia? This I would say IMO is the culmination of decades of ignoring the problems and pretending that they would go away on their own, the majority of the US public probably didn't give the embassy bombings in Africa a second thought at the time but now they pay attention to every terrorist strike no matter what the extent of the damage is. This problem needs to be dealt with and blaming the Americans for it is short sighted.

The Terrorist Muslim Savage Dog B-astards are "BUSH's & America's Enemy" which means the sore losing Bush hating far left liberals are on the Muslims side, not America's.
Bad America
Good little Muslim

Those scummy slime pigs are trying their best to kill us and all the Bush Hating media can babble about is Dick Cheney's hunting trip.

The Muslims:
In a few weeks they will probably start acting up in America, if they do we should have the "Hells Angels" take care of them.

When the Muslim Pigs bombed the Trade Center in 1993 was that Bush's fault, he was in Texas slapping Ann Richards around.

Do the Batty Sore Losing American Liberals completely forget that "MUSLIMS" commited 9/11.

Muslims believe that killing their enemy solves their problem, fine, then we should damn well start killing them. They are bloodthirsty f-cking animals.

The difference is that the violence done in the name of Christianity was conceived of and driven by men who twisted the word of God. That is, the bible may say "X" and some yahoo interprets is as "Y".

The violence done in the name of Islam is directed by the word of Allah. The Koran says "Convert them or kill them." No interpretation needed.

The Middle East is backward because the religion tells them to be that way. It has nothing to do with Western influence.

Tell me that any one of these events is minor.
