You do know Osama has a reward on his head, by the US, for far more than that, don't you. And Bush asked for his head, literally. They even had the dry ice stored up for the occasion. So I guess you are not complaining about the barbarism of bounties and behadings. Your issue appears to be that if ones religion or sacred tbings are severely defiled (in the devotee's eyes -not yours who apparently know nothing of Islam), it is too small an offense for "bounty and behadings". I tend to agree. But most americans, and the current gov't don't. Think about it: If the Iranian or Syrian presidents, exercising freedom of speech, on prime time TV: - pissed on a cricifix and a picture of the Virgin Mary, - while buring a US and UK flag, - and called Laura and Jenna Bush "my former whores" -- and detailed his alleged sexual acts with them, - called the Holacasut a hoax, - spray painted a swastika on the Star of David, -called for legalization of all drugs, -called for $200 / barrel oil, -announced he had iron-clad proof of Bush/Cheney war crimes, -said all american women are skanks, -said the Beatles sucked, -called for a renewal of "biblical" slavery, -said blacks were inferior, he would have a 11.5 BILLION dollar reward for his head -- and his country would be bombed off the face of the map. So much for free speech. And while some in neutral countries would simply say "whats the fuss, "sticks and stones and all" and "its just words on a page, bits on a screen -- nothing worse than a cartoon", most americans would call for the bombing of such, in their words "heathen barbarians". Hell the US invaded Iraq because the gov't convinced a majority ofpeople that "Saddam bombed the World Trade Center." They don't even need real reasons to invade a country. The above would be way more than enough "justifiction" once the spinmasters hyped it. ------------------------ Yahoo!
