This achieves nothing but the spread of stupidity.

This will get merged but also check this out..... Why burn the American flag? Again, more proof of an excuse to act crazy.

It's called a backup.

Very primitive but effective concept, created by a pigmy in the Sahara dessert.

Wouldn't it be funny if someone swooped in and created a comic about how ridiculous they are acting, and how over board they are going?

Wait a second... Maybe I'm missing something since I haven't been keeping up with this, but if they're republishing them in Muslim newspapers, then aren't those newspapers breaking the same rule by re-publishing his picture?

I have had multiple hack attempts with a couple successful before I switched to vbulletin. They attacked me because I run a Christian web site. I ultimately had to block the whole country of UAE due of the multiple IP addresses. I've got a lot of IP addresses that were logged during the attacks along with their anti-Christian messages. But then again, this was going on well before any of these cartoons, so in a sense it would be more "fuel" for their "fire," if you will. I've had a lot of attempts since switching to vbulletin, but because of my host, none were succesful.

These things have been going for hundreds of years and will continue for many more years, getting worse as it goes. It's always darkest before the dawn.

Click the howtos in my sig, sir.

On the getting hacked note, both sites that I run that I've linked here and at vb.com have TONS of bruteforce root SSH attempts.

Just a friendly heads up, if you're using stock SSH setup (root, port 21, etc), it'd be a good idea to change them. I'm not inferring that the script kiddie came from here, just pointing out the coincidence. Changing the port to a high number and disallowing root SSH is one of the first things any server admin should do.

someone republished them in a muslim periodical or someone distributed a periodical with the incriminating cartoons. either way the cartoons were originally published last year, so someone had to make them resurface.

So... That basically proves my point then, right? According to them, it's wrong for anyone to publish the cartoon because it's an image of Muhamad, but it's ok for their own newspapers to republish them? Am I the only one that's seeing the irony/hypocracy in this, or am I just completely missing something?
