#1 Slightly tangental, but . . . notice where all the "outrage" is coming from? Radicalized Moslems in the West, and from the repressive Syrian, Saudi, Palestinian, and Iranian thougocracies. Haven't heard word one about riots in Baghdad or Kabul--the two Moslem Middle eastern countries with freely elected governments, formerly two of the worst thugocracies. (If there were riots in Baghdad, you can bet the MSM would be trumpeting it as more proof of failure, quagmire, and so on.)

Wonder what that tells us?

#2 Anyone else notice how all the signs are (a) in ENGLISH and (b) apparently lettered by the same person?

"Spontaneous," my ass. ROPMA, too.

Hook these clowns up with their spiritual brethern moveon et al., and the only way to tell the difference between them will be the clothing.

#5 Guys I've got a feeling in me waters that this is a deadset Qaida plot: it is totally organised.

They could have picked on any affront, the cartoons are innocuous and printed last October. Old news. It all broke out in the same week. This is planned and I don't like it.

On the surface it looks like a propaganda gift to us, even lefties like freedom of speech it is a chance for us to get united against a common enemy. But the opposition is smart and they are trying to do the same thing I think.

Qaida have been unpopular lately with the street. May be planning big attack and trying to remove potential sympathy is my guess but I don't like the level of sophistication I am seeing.

Maybe not Qaida, maybe planning to attack Israel now Hamas in power?

don't know but feel bad about it.

#6 Anon1, this is almost as spontaneous as the al aqsa "intifada"; see my posts on it (shameless autopromotion, to wax my fragile ego) :

Islam/Muhammad Cartoons : a manipulation of the Muslim Brotherhood

Fabricated cartoons worsened Danish controversy

#7 Thankyou anon5089 that is very very helpful.

So, it is the Muslim Brotherhood.

Jostling for power among terror groups, campaigning for anti-blasphemy law.

It makes perfect sense.

It would play into their hands if people in Western nations got angry themselves and burned a Koran providing further provocation. Then the Islamist nutters would be released, people would die and the anti-blasphemy law would be passed.

So we must show restraint and strength.

Tell them to get stuffed we like freedom of speech, but not do anything to give them any excuses.

Perhaps this is why the State Department grovelled?

And Jack Straw?

Nah, Jack Straw is just a pussy.
