We are not denying the fact that the small group of violent fundamentalist don't "got game". They're a very impressive group of people who's done som extraordinary things. That's not the issue. The issue is that there's a whole lot of people being grouped together with these maniacs.
I don't suspect there were that many nazis who used the christian faith as a tool for their socio-political campaign compared to the overall number of Christians, but I'll be damned if I - a Christian - was to be compared with those animals that executed millions of people 60 years ago.
It needs to be said over and over, that these violent assholes are *not* to be associated with the muslim community at large, not because we're trying to trivialise the problem, but because we're highlighting another aspect of it; namely those caught in the crossfire between zealous fundamentalist muslims and the rest of the world.
edit:
On the lighter side of things, I just read an article that stated that when one of the local merchants heard about the cartoons he imported 100 Norwegian flags because he knew there's be market for selling them. You gotta love a country whose primary form of demonstration is flag-burning, especially to the point where vendors and sales-people can anticipate when it's going to occur and make sure that they're supplied with enough flags. If that's not the beating heart of capitalism, I don't know what is!
