"Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
- Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.
- Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage.
- (...more)
Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Offensive Cartoons
The interesting thing is that there are regularly far more offensive and violently anti-semitic cartoons in the arab press LINK. And racist and religiously offensive lies are viewed as entertainment in the muslim world LINK. The hypocrisy is galling, and the threats of violence are an anathema to anyone who cares about freedom.

Democracy in a Cartoon
Unless, we show some solidarity, unashamed, noisy, public solidarity with the Danish cartoonists, then the forces that are trying to impose on the Free West a totalitarian ideology will have won; the Islamization of Europe will have begun in earnest. Do not apologize.
This raises another more general problem: the inability of the West to defend itself intellectually and culturally. Be proud, do not apologize. Do we have to go on apologizing for the sins our fathers? Do we still have to apologize, for example, for the British Empire, when, in fact, the British presence in India led to the Indian Renaissance, resulted in famine relief, railways, roads and irrigation schemes, eradication of cholera, the civil service, the establishment of a universal educational system where none existed before, the institution of elected parliamentary democracy and the rule of law? What of the British architecture of Bombay and Calcutta? The British even gave back to the Indians their own past: it was European scholarship, archaeology and research that uncovered the greatness that was India; it was British government that did its best to save and conserve the monuments that were a witness to that past glory. British Imperialism preserved where earlier Islamic Imperialism destroyed thousands of Hindu temples.
This is one of the better article. If you can read only 1 article a day, do read this (democracy in a cartoon)

The same thing can be said to others: Japanese tortures during the japanese occupation, no japanese outrage. Israelis shooting down palestinian youths armed with stones, no Israel/Western outrage. The treatment of Jews by Germans in WWII, no German outrage.
Think about that and see if what you wrote has any meaning. And if you bothered to read the news, the world muslim leaders do not condone doing those things that you stated and publicly condemns the terrorists that is behind it all.
Do you think that 1 billion plus people in the world have nothing else better to do than being outraged?
It is not because the drawings depict islam in a bad way that they are protesting. There are lots other comics that are even more offensive to islam that are circulating. Its because it shows the face of their prophet, which is very sacred to them, being made fun of.
actually there is plenty of german outrage, but ya, i get what u mean.
