But NO ONE has said that Muslims aren't people. No one has even suggested it. Well, no one other than you defending Muslims against those who are saying that they are not people...but there's no one here that has said it. Here I am talking about the murder of innocent Muslims by other Muslims which has nothing to do with some cartoon that may or may not have shown Muhammad. But lets take what you said. Have they killed anyone over this? The answer is yes, but any newspaper I show you to detail this will not meet your criteria of proof because, as you say, you can't trust the news because of the government (even when the news is from another country). Each and every civilian casualty in Iraq makes an enemy for this country? Even the ones that are the fault of fellow Muslims? Why is it that when an American kills a Muslim it's the crime of the century but when a Muslim kills a Muslim, no one cares?
