Any Muslim responding to this probably has nothing to do with this violence and probably don't support it... you do realise that don't you?
Lybians espcially after freeing them from a dictator, have members of their society that murdered even Muslims along with those Americans. I just simply cannot understand how you can rightfully fight for your own political and religious and economic freedom, and then hypocritically use violence to demand the same taboos Gadaffi trannically used to silence dissent of his state and his state religion.
I want to hear from Muslims who value free speech, including dissent and blasphemy. I will stand proudly with those Muslims, again, not that I think they need their religion, but strictly as a human rights issue in our common humanity that no one likes to be physically harmed.
I think the more in Islam who adapt tollernce and the right to offend and non violent protest, things will get better for them.
