Mark Steyn on Target regarding Mohammad Cartoon

Once again Mark Steyn makes a great analogy about Muslim rioting and violence in response to the insulting cartoons of Mohammad,

"If I were a Muslim, I'd be "hurt" and "humiliated" that the revered prophet's name is given not to latex blowup males but to so many real blowup males: The leader of the 9/11 plotters? Mohammed Atta. The British Muslim who self-detonated in a Tel Aviv bar? Asif Mohammed Hanif. The gunman who shot up the El Al counter at LAX? Heshamed Mohamed Hedayet. The former U.S. Army sergeant who masterminded the slaughter at the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania? Ali Mohamed. The murderer of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh? Mohammed Bouyeri. The notorious Sydney gang rapist? Mohammed Skaf. The Washington sniper? John Allen Muhammed. If I were a Muslim, I would be deeply offended that the prophet's name is the preferred appellation of so many killers and suicide bombers on every corner of the earth."

It is apparently not appropriate to show cartoons of Mohammad, but these Mohammad's are revered because they are just doing the Lord's work right.

It is time for moderate Muslims to regain control of their religion or else these extremists will lead the world to a "Clash of Civilizations". Muslims in no way, shape, or form can win this battle. However, if free, democratic countries back down against this cartoon furor, Muslim extremists will win another battle in the long global war of terror.

It is time to confront the likes of Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Al Qaeda so our children can continue to grow up in a free, democratic society where they are not threatened by Cartoon Jihad, but are only concerned with watching Cartoon Network.
