My Politically Correct Response to the Muhammad Cartoon Riots

In case you haven't been paying attention: "Tens of thousands of Muslims around the world have staged new rounds of protests—some resulting in deaths—over published cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed" (From CNN.com.)

As a "progressive" American, I feel obliged to point out that not all Muslims are participating in violent, even fatal, protests over the now infamous Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons. I might go as far as to say that "true Muslims" do not condone such dangerous and deadly behavior.

Let me add this: True Muslims understand that their faith is strong enough to withstand a few cartoons in a Danish newspaper. And no religion (or philosophical worldview) can rationally justify detroying a nation's embassy buildings simply because a newspaper editor in that country had bad taste.
