    If I was someone of faith...

    ... I'd be embarrassed that other people of faith could be so insulted by something so outrageously amateurish: that they couldn't find the strength from within their faith to ignore this kind of trivial slight. Isn't that meant to be the point of faith of any sort?

    There has to be more to this story than huge numbers of ignorant people around the globe being stoked up by second, third and fourth-hand stories. I mean, there has to be, right?

      Re: Live in fear

      The actual religion that fundies latch onto is in fact irrelevant. If Islam were to magically disappear, they would just leech off another one. It is the extremists who distort the religion, not the other way round.

    Senator Joe Lieberman, the one guy ...

    who is an expert on nothing utters more verbal garbage than any other US politician.

    Roll on January, he's gone then.

    Disconnect the Middle East from the Web

    This only serves to further prove that we are ALL at war at least cybernetically with the Middle East.

    It's time for the US to use that special submarine again and clip the telecom wires leading in and out of the entire Middle East.

    Psst -- don't look now, but your ignorance is showing

    "DDoS attacks for which hacker group the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters took credit via a series of posts to PasteBin. The hacktivist group claimed its actions had been prompted by indignation over the Innocence of Muslims, an amateur anti-Islamic film whose trailer had appeared on YouTube."

    In the real world, it's more like the Ignorance of Muslims who have no clue what it's like to live in a secular country. Here's a hint: we don't give a rat's ass about the "movie" or its stupid producer. Perhaps you could learn something from our example.

    Anonymous, because I don't want some brain-dead extremist showing up on my doorstep....

    Hackers are fighting to stay at the Iron Bar Hotel indefinitely.

    Go

    "Independent US Senator Joe Lieberman"?

    Independent US Senator Joe Lieberman? More like "crawling, loathsome, slime-sucking, Zionist stooge, in-Israel's-hip-pocket US Senator Joe Lieberman..."

    There, fixed it for ya.

    But, seriously, folks... considering how US banks have treated US citizens lately -- not to mention how my bank has pissed on me personally -- all I can say is, go get 'em, Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters! Pardon my having absolute zero sympathy for the banks. Or, not...
