Muslims nations: Defame Islam, get sued?

[Jack]

I think that Muslims would have fewer problems with alleged "defamation, denigration, stereotyping, intolerance and discrimination" from the West if their radicals would quit blowing up our sh*t.

You know, I truly wish someone in our government possessed the cajones to say exactly that to their leaders.

But I think that in the current climate of the courts and politics, they might get in the very least a very good hearing.

Well I think that what might be deemed 'defamation' by a Islamic committee would be considered simply as a 'negative opinion' by most other people. The fact is, that most other religions can let criticism and mockery roll off them, but many Islamic leaders seem to think that anyone who doesn't like their religion needs to be punished. Being upset with people creating violently anti-Islamic organizations would be one thing, but a cartoon in a danish newspaper? Come on now.

As a non sequitur, I think that Muslims would have fewer problems with alleged "defamation, denigration, stereotyping, intolerance and discrimination" from the West if their radicals would quit blowing up our sh*t.

Very well said.
