it's too bad for humanity that we can't just put all the american fundies and the islamists on a really really big island together and seal it off like in some john carpenter movie.

it's this kind of stuff that makes me want to cry:
“We want the U.S. government to prove that there is justice by stopping this movie and punishing the director and his staff,” said Sheik Ahmad al-A’ani, a preacher at a mosque in Baghdad.
i mean coming from their sociopolitical paradigm i can see why this seems like a total reasonable request; from their POV it seems unimaginable that the US won't punish the people who made this.
of course from our perspective it seems unconscionable to imagine a government punishing someone for exercising a right to free speech.
does this already seem much worse than the flap over the danish newspaper cartoon?
