I'm a Catholic living in Oklahoma. Needless to tell you, I've been told many times how my religion (sadly) will send me straight to the firey pits of hell, etc. I've heard it. It's intolerance, ignorance, etc. I ignore it or I try to educate depending on the situation. Heck.. the ignorance being spewed by certain Muslims regarding the Pope is as idiotic and ignorant as anything the Pope himself has said -- moreso IMHO.
My civpro prof would have me strung up by the toenails for uttering such an abomination. They = ignorant Muslims making death threats (and in some cases following through) because their dumb asses were offended.

Third, last time I checked, I was part of the west and so are many other muslims. Are you saying we dont have a right to speak against those who attack our way of life? Geez, ,and I thought this was America.

As long as you're not making death threats or killing people who disagree with you, you're well within your rights. Otherwise, what are you suggesting? That the U.S. allow Muslims to make death threats and commit violent acts because they are offended while they compel people with offensive bobblehead dolls to remove said dolls from sight? WTF?
