Is it just more or is the line between fanatical Muslim and moderate Muslim being increasingly blurred, if not erased all together? It's a ****ing cartoon and they just proved the stereotypes about Islam in the West correct. Religion of peace? Please, both Christianity and Islam were spread through violence, conquest, convert or die methods. The difference between the two now is that I don't see many Christians killing women and children then turning around and claiming that their religion is one of peaceful co-existance. Actions speak louder than words and in this case you have violent actions on the part of the fanatics and inaction amongst the moderates. No denunciations of the violence against Europeans following these cartoons (and by following I mean five months later. Is this really about the cartoons or did they protest first then find go searching for a reason?), no denunciations of the beheading of Westerners in the name of Allah (which should be blesphemy if Islam is truly a religion of peace.) All the West sees is a cartoon, five months of nothing, rioting, looting and other acts of violence, and Muslims government encouraging these riots while demanding an apology from Denmark and punishment against those who dared to depict Islam as a nation of violence.

Gee Ann, Replace "Christianity" with "Islam" and you sound just like AL-Qaeda.

I cannot stand this person. All she is good for is hate, and there's enough of it in the world without her.

Ann Coulter is so full of hate that if she were to bite a rattle snake, the snake would die. She is this way when she discusses liberals and democrats so why should she be any different when she talks about someone that does NOT have her beliefs.

I always wonder how it would be like to have a dinner with her. Would she be relaxed or as uptight as she appears nowadays? Just once would I like to have a look behind her veil and see what makes her ricketick go faster!

Am I the only person who is talking out of their ass here? I don't actually know how this lady is or even what she looks like, that's how much attention I pay to the news, or at least the people in it, if I wanted to get my information distorted and out of context I will turn on the TV, usually I just stick to reading the blogs or the BBC.

In order: Yes you are....if you watch ANY Sunday or evening political talk show you couldn't miss seeing her...most people who resort to blogs for their news are usually as dumb as rocks when it comes to the news...BBC has some of the most slanted news about America of any non US news organization.

I kind of made up the blogs part because it sounded cool when I was typing, in actuality I really only get my news through these forums because everything I see on the news is ultimately stupid, has no effect on me or the nation as a whole, and is blown out of proportion. Like this Cheney issue.

Haha. I'm sure blogs and the BBC website have their share of information distortion and removal from context aswell.

I think we can all agree that the BBC is at least a little less distorted than FOX, right?

No. Darn no.

Ok, can we agree that FOX and BBC distort facts in the opposite direction?
