Well..from the OP link it looks like this is the guy we have to be "nice" to and not get upset.
Seems he has his list of Americans he can just turn to if you "don't behave".
"Norris was placed on a hit list by Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, an al-Qaida-linked figure who has been tied to the Fort Hood, Texas, massacre as well as the failed bombing in Times Square, the New York Daily News reported.
So basically if a bunch of Muslims burn an American flag on US soil to intentionally offend us and are shot by a bunch of citizens you would think that they were getting exactly what they were bargaining for?
If two gay men started kissing in the middle of a square nearby many Christians who find their love offensive and then the two are horribly beaten, you're saying they got what they asked for?
What a bunch of politically correct BS you wrote. It sickens me excusing these radical nutjobs behavior just because you have some sort of apologetic attitude towards radical Islam.
The people inciting death threats against this woman are terrorists. They intent to instill fear in everyone protesting freedom of expression and the idea that not everyone should live by the laws of someone else's religion. Yes, these people who are turning violent are evil, pure evil, and I could give a crap if they're offended by a stupid drawing. If they have a problem with it they are free to write a letter or protest peacefully.
Then again, I'm sure I'm offending some by writing this (which I could care less about). So I guess I deserve to die now.
You're certainly not offending me....reps to you for a good post!
My hat is off to all of you who have directly responded to the lunacy of the apologists and managed to stay within the terms of service. That's more than I could do.

Because we are not them, and we behave differently.

There you go! See, you just answered your own question.
You already understand that we behave differently. So does everybody else.

And here we get into the penis waving again. We deal everyday with the certain knowledge that actions have consequences. We build homes in tornado alley, or on hurricane prone beaches, or on the San Andreas fault in full knowledge that those choices have consequences.
Are the people who make other choices and build elsewhere "obeying" the hurricanes and earthquakes? Of course not. They are simply accommodating reality.
Different people make different choices. All of them must ultimately deal with the consequences of those choices.
Islam is the socio-religious equivalent of a natural disaster. Some people will deliberately incite it to violence, some people will not. Neither are "obeying." But both must deal with the consequences of their choice.

I never heard so much nonsense in my life. Do you hear yourself? Take it to the logical conclusion -- is there no limit to the Muslim bullying as far as you are concerned? You can continue to accomodate and accomodate until you cease to exist?
You are so silly if you think they are no existential threat to us. Pay attention to Europe. As the old Chinese proverb goes: The fool learns by experience. Don't be a fool. Read Bruce Bauer and Bat Ye'or.
Otherwise, when you are cowering before them (I mean, moreso than you already are) you will have to accept the consequences of your choices . . .
Would it be wise to go to one of the most dangerous predominately black neighborhoods in the US and start yelling racial slurs? Should the person who decides to do that be surprised then if bad things happen to them? Granted they do have the freedom of speech protecting them, but going to do that wouldn't be too bright would it?
I have absolutely no problem with her drawing and publishing anything she wants to. As a journalism major, I was taught that the first amendment is sacred.
I do not, however, think that she should be protected from the consequences of her actions.
Read my previous post. "As ye sow, shall ye also reap".
If you sow hatred, you shouldn't expect unicorns and rainbows to be your reward.
Give me a large BREAK! The religion of "piece" strikes again.
