Are Muslims Prone to Violence?

Looks like the Pope has stirred up a real hornets nest - not that it takes much to do that nowadays. It seems that the Muslims are up in arms over the Pope's remarks last week quoting a 14th Century emperor, Manual II Paleologos (whoever he was), who criticized the Prophet Mohammed.

So far, Muslims around the world are making Emperor Manual's case for him - by murdering a nun, fire-bombing churches, and, in general, just making complete asses of themselves.

Even a simple cartoon is enough justification for some Muslims (tens or even hundreds of thousands, actually) to go on a rampage.

Here are the infamous cartoons that were published in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten last year (oh, the horror).

Are these people so easily offended that they can display no dignity in the face of criticism? Do they not realize that their behavior validates every derogatory comment ever made against Islam and it's followers?

The Muslims' penchant for bombing markets, hotels, trains, planes and automobiles....even their own mosques....doesn't aid their cause. Western liberals try to rationalize the behavior of these scumbags - yes, that's right, SCUMBAGS - and try to somehow excuse it, but no one with any sense is buying their arguments.

Here are just a few of the atrocities commited by Muslims in the name of Islam:
The World Trade Center in New York.

The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.

Subway trains in Madrid.

Nightclubs in Bali.

The Marriott Hotel in Jakarta.

Busses and subways in London.

All of these and most others are civilian targets.

What do the vast majority of peaceful Muslims have to say about the "hijacking" of their Religion of Peace?

I thought so.
