The growth of radical Islam

[Rudey]

Fundamentalist Muslims object to free speech:
A newspaper in Norway published a cartoon with pictures of Mohammed in them. Countries across Europe like France have also published these cartoons as a right to free speech. This may be similar to the voluminous number of books that are anti-semitic, anti-American, and anti-Christian that can be found in bookstores in place like Egypt. Some may say it's not anywhere nearly as bad as the hate literature found in the Muslim world.

Fundamentalists believe Islam should be the law:
Muslims are angry because their religion doesn't allow for any depictions of Mohammed. They are also angry because one of those cartoons has Mohammed with a bomb around his head - a reference to the (mis)use of Islam as a directive for violence and terrorism.

Fundamentalists attack Europeans and Christians:
As a result, Muslims are rioting and have attacked embassies in their countries as well as threatened Europeans and Christians (and their churches). Today they set fire to the embassies of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in Syria and the government there stood by and refused to protect them. Saudi Arabia has proposed a boycott of goods - a clear violation of the WTO accords which it has signed up for.
