Kender, where does Ric give the slightest indication that he took two minutes to check whether any of those incidents were condemned in any way by anyone in the Muslim world? The simple fact is that he didn't. Like you, he has a simplistic, jingoistic view of the world. Simple-mindedness is not a survival trait, Kender, but unfortunately it is all that you and Ric and your ilk bring to the table. If and when the terrorism problem is resolved, it won't be by people who, like you and Ric, guard your ignorance so jealously. By the way, Kender, it's been just over ten months.

And you "read that sentence" to mean one thing when it said another? No way dude......you can't read a sentence to mean something that isn't said.......that would be, (what's that word again??) oh yeah, extrapolating, and we know you won't have any truck with that will you meaty old boy?

I am certain we could nitpick the details for days, but the fact remains that Ric -- and thousands of rightwing bloggers like him -- do not bother to inform themselves of what is happening inside the Muslim world. They've swallowed wholesale the fantasy that Muslims are a monolithic entity, and that every single Muslim wants to kill us. Ric says as much in the Flash ad on his site, fer cripes' sake! He's ignorant and wants to stay that way. So far, he's succeeding. I read that sentence to mean that Muslims protested none of the violence Ric mentions.

He didn't say in the quote you provided that the cartoon rioting didn't elicit "nary a whimper..." he said that the burning of innocents, blowing to bits and killing at a karaoke bar didn't elicit protest or condemnation. How could you miss that? Oh, maybe it's because you aren't above either lying, or misreading, or plain ole being mendacious yourself.
