Look at your average news broadcast or paper, unless there is something huge going on, (war/terrorism/disaster.) Home affairs get reported first or on the front page, overseas stuff afterwards.

Obviously that is very different in the global Ummah. If something "anti-Islamic" is happening in let'S say Denmark, or America, then on the other side of the planet and all abroad crowds hystaericall yell in the streets "death to the West" and "Shariah law for Wetsern heretics" or whatever. Even the most unimportant scallywag (=Tunichtsgut) in a small village on the dark side of the moon thinks he must shout is anger and how ver ymuch offended he is intot he face of Earth, the sky above, and let all universe know.

the collective of theUmmha, the one and the only there is , works wonderfully when it is about opposition to islam (that'S why muhammad designed it as unified and totalitarian as it is). Just when their dear brither and sister in Islam are getting hit by lets say a natural disaster, all of a sudden the collective passivity and desinterst breaks out, since it is just the punishmenet by angry Allah and thus well-deserved. Let the stuoid Wetserners pay for it, and spend your money better on bulding more oques in the West, infiltrate the West with just more "culture centres", or even directly finance Islamic terrorism.

The attitude just falls short of an 'eye for an eye': aka: its ok because some muslims burnt stuff in the past.

I thiunk of it as "ater 50 years, finally let them taste their own medicine". What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander.

Do most muslims burn flags and western documents or is just a handful of extreamist Idiots?[{quote]

Having attended rallies in Algeria, Egypt and Iran myself, I must tell you that on such occasions the enthusiasm for such things is grabbing streets and streets full of crowds.

When you burn a holy book or flag, you insult EVERYONE under that faith or nation.

and still we react not to them doing it in their countries, but in their half of the world they take it upon them to go ballistic when we do something in our home countries that is perfectly conformal with pour rules and habits.

Your problem Skybird is that you keep treating Islam as if it just one person.
Your view of "us and them" only tells me that your mentality is little different to the radicals you hate so much.

I treat islam as an ideology that educates people to behave aggressive, violent and barbaric, and to stay hilariously stupid at the same time. It is a brutal, aggressive ideology, it is not an ideology glorifying peace and freedom and tolerance. The totalitarianism in it aims at controlling human life absolutely, by dogma ruling and regulating every aspect of life - of the individual'S, of the family's, of the local community's, of the country, the global ummah. And if I check history against this, then I see history by a general trend confirming this since a thousand years. Due to it's totalitarian nature, unity is enfoced, and by nity comes strength and an incredible resistence. That'S why for example Turkey after decades of pretended secularism now falls back to the religious for whom politics and religion are just two words for one and the same thing: total, absolute control and patriarchalic power. Islam does not distinct between politics and religion, but it is more politics than it is religion; it slept a while, and now woke up and takes back the country - if it is not pushing Turkey into a civil war, which is a possible threat that indeed is a realistic option.

You could learn so very much by exmaining closely what is going in in turkey since the fundamentalists took over the government, and now step by step systemtically islamise it again. A good and recent report on it you can find here, by a Turkish author who is member of the (more and more obviously supressed) opposition while the society turns more and more into a surveillance state.

A lot can and must be learned from this coup d'etat that the AKP de facto has initiated, with the ultimate goal to erode and finally completely dismantle the heritage of Attaturk, and replacing democracy with a theocracy (I repeatedly said that Erdoghan even says that loud and clear, and this author also refers to him). Especially must be learned that it is not just one event, one day or one week of events, but a process of creepingly, slowly, silently taking over the country over years, absuing democracy and it's rules to legitimate newly institutionalised rule of islam and its values so that there will not be objections fom the stupid EU - and when it is installed, abandoning democracy. And this must be the wakeup call for the West, finally - becasue in Germany, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, also america (though currently lacking behind a bit), comparable developements are going on. The Eu calls on Turkey to cut back the constitutional role of the military which is the only thing standing between attaturk and theocracy. By doing so, the EU directly assists in establishing a Turkish theocracy.

Süper.
