#3 Ok, for these comments:
"Except for Jordan and Egypt, no Arab nation has a peace treaty with Israel. They've had 54 years to get over it. They choose not to." Which are all truths which are easily verifiable, Mr Cotterell has to apologize for inappropriate remarks to the Muslim people. How on earth can his comments be interpreted as bigotry?

If I lived in Tallahassee, I'd cancel my subscription to the 'Democrat'.

Miller sounds like a spineless wimp as well.

Oh, and to get some background on Mr Hooper, check this out:

#5 According to CAIR, the article stated: "Except for Jordan and Egypt, no Arab nation has a peace treaty with Israel. They've had 54 years to get over it. They choose not to. OK, they can squat around the camel-dung fire and grumble about it, or they can put their bottoms in the air five times a day and pray for deliverance; that's their businessâ¦And I don't give a damn if Israel kills a few in collateral damage while defending itself. So be it."

#6 alert readers will note that the reporter was responding to someone bitching about the "What would Mohammed drive?" cartoon.

Now, far be it from me to suggest that people writing to complain about things they think is offensive might get snitty, but we *do* know that we are missing one half of the conversation here.

People do tend to return rudeness for rudeness, you know. Even reporters.
