However, you might pause to give some thought to the fact that muslims are so easily manipulated into acting like murderous fools by silly gestures like this. It is easy to pull your strings because you DO overreact to bullshit like this.


Well I agee with that also, a lot of the Muslims are easily manipulated by things like this.

And I believe that the reason for such violence is mostly caused by socio-political related issues than anything else because it varies from one place to another.

Yes Rayaan, absolutely. The vast multitude of your people are oppressed by their own religious rulers to enable those leaders....and the politicians they support...to maintain power. You would think that a guy like Karzai would have bigger fish to fry than worrying about what some shit-for-brains preacher does 12,000 miles away. But it was Karzai who saw ( and grabbed ) an opportunity to fire up his people over, basically, bullshit. He runs a government which has no control 1/4 of a mile from the outskirts of Kabul. Perhaps this is his way of trying to broaden his base by out-Talibaning the Taliban? So what if a few more Afghans die in the process. They drop like flies every day.
