#1 It's very confusing to me : did the ferry firm publish some kind of cartoons about old Mo' or something? They were chanting? What were they chanting? Brit pop? The Ramones? Were the hurled chairs zionist? Danish-made? Ikea, perhaps? But Ikea is swedish, or is it from Norway, can't remember.

I'm lost here, please help me. I'm so confused.

Anyway, glad to see that Moderate Muslims(tm) stay true to type.

#2 The ferry firm office ransacking is just the Egyptians' coming to terms with the Insh'Allah thing. It is like a cruel Zen Koan.

Of course, a properly designed, crewed, and maintained ferry would minimize great tragedies like the one we have witnessed, but such banal tasks would be beneath the the dignity of the followers of Allan. Like I said before: Insh'Allah for them.

#6 Rioting must be the default muslim action to confusion or frustration.

#7 I'm constantly confused and frustrated, and yet I don't riot... ergo, I'm not muslim. Kewl. That was close.

#8 Id say its a helluva lot saner to ransack the offices of a company that was negligent in the deaths of your kinfolk then to ransack an embassy over a bunch of silly cartoons.

I mean just consider this there cheaper alternative to tort lawyers. :)

#9 What, someone kills your relative, and the first thing you'd do would be act to destroy evidence?

#10 Rioting must be the default muslim action to confusion or frustration.

Sure sounds like it. They couldn't even wait for the whitewash before rioting.

#11 Well i'd hire a good lawyer. But Im not sure that works as well in Egypt.

My point is to lash out in anger at folks whove done you wrong (dont know if there was evidence tehre) is more understandable than lashing out about some cartoons.
