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?

i'm not sure, i grabbed it from the NYT rolling updates page: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/14/updates-on-protests-over-anti-islam-film/?hp

there's also this lovely man, in dc:

not sure why that's at the top of the page (it's from 2 years) other than to reinforce the "humans r stoopid" vibe
