"I wish muslims were so understanding but then they just want to make sure that those who insult what they believe as sacred don't get away..
It's really tough to educate them at this level.."
Well let's not forget that it's not just the Muslim faith that has a small but vocal "batshit insane, and totally missed the point" faction; pick any religon and you will find similar people. (i.e. Fred Phelps and the 'God hates fags' crowd spring to mind).
Which is why I say, don't judge based on someone's faith, but on their actions as a human being.
I'm fairly curious though, but why do the peaceful majority allow people to use their religon as a weapon? Should we not be isolating those who twist our values into something that's used to spread hate instead of allowing them to speak on our behalf?
