Mohammad image riots

This has been one fun time in the more radical areas of Islam in the world with all the riots. The US claims that Iran and Syria are inciting the demonstrations. (After all, how'd they get so many Danish flags to burn?) Of course, Iran denies the allegation, but I think denial is a knee-jerk reaction for that government.

Funny thing, though: the Hezbollah has told Bush to "shut up"! I think that's funny myself. Like he's going to. This is also funny: "In Beirut, Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah urged Muslims worldwide to keep demonstrating until there is an apology over the drawings and Europe passes laws forbidding insults to the prophet." They're going to be protesting for a while! [Article Link]

Right now, they want Europe to pass laws forbidding this to happen again. I don't think that'll happen (well, except maybe in France). I wonder if they'll try to get the US to do that. Yea, we'll do that as soon as Islam becomes the official religion of the United States, I'm sure.
