I do not agree with these cartoons but the stupidy of muslims is only getting worse by burning flags. It seems all they know how to do is set fire to flags and buildings and bomb other countries.

Most Muslims are moderate and integrate fine in Western societies. You can't blame a whole culture/community for the actions and beliefs of a group of extremists. This is not about not agreeing with the views of the West...if you offend them, they have the right to protest...and the right to protest is a right that is recognized in the West, no? I agree that protest should have been peaceful...but the government of Denmark failed to acknowledge that some of the cartoons constituted hate speech as they promoted prejudism and islamophobia. If a government fails to administer justice and law, it's understandable that people will get angry...Violence is not justified, but I more than understand their anger. To Nike,
