What the Muslim Riot Thing is About
Feb. 6th, 2006 10:48 amFor the radical muslims in Denmark this is an opportunity to get lots and lots of attention and increase attendance at their mosques. This is no different than the US "War on Christmas" story that comes out every year from the usual suspects, just with a rioting twist because unlike the rich western christians who get in a twist about christmas the people protesting have nothing to lose. It is similarly a manufactured story; the radicals from Denmark who went around the Middle East to stir up this thing made up three of the cartoons they are rioting about. This is a great big reqruitment drive on the part of radicals, nothing more. This is not a commentary about freedom of the press and islam, this is about the effectiveness of propaganda.
