Sorry, do explain? You did see what it was in response to, didn't you?
Re: "complaint": I was using your remark as comparative AOG, I certainly didn't mean to imply it wasn't valid by using the word "complaint".

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I have read the other post that you replied to, and yes I can now see a slight bit of sarcasm in your reply to it, it was just 'one of the richest countries in the world' referral that threw me.

More important still is what they were really thinking inside . If a campaign (against all religions) is taking place , just because people are staying quiet doesn't mean that they haven't noticed this campaign is taking place .

Neither of you seem to get it at all.Your religion, the religion of peace, flares up at the slightest hint of criticism or mockery of mohammed. Mob rule, violent over-reaction, murder, flag burning, intimidation. The mob and the mullahs behind them attempt to stifle criticism, stifle mockery by intimidation, by threat and by terror.
No ideology or religion should be immune from mockery or criticism, and most especially those ideas and religions that shape the global culture. For the West, individual liberty, the democratic process, the rule of law, and the right of free speech are all threatened by such reaction - and that threat and fear just cranks up the tension.
Look at the consequences of this latest flare up to a cheaply made, deliberately inflammatory piece of propaganda - murder of an ambassador, a renewal of the fatwa on Rushdie with an increased bounty - Is this the mature response of a religion of peace? Is this the face of Islam that you want the rest of the world to see?
A cornerstone of secular democracy is freedom of speech - all you are attempting to do is to stifle that.
The religion and some of these more frothing at the mouth adherents need to grow up....
