------------------------ Exactly. And those extremists who want to remove Muhammed's picture are being contradictory and illogical. They are mis interpreting the tenets of their own faith for strictly polemic reasons.
That's what an extremist is.

It is reassuring to know that the only person in this discussion who *truly understands* what the *real* meaning of Islamic beliefs and cultural taboos are is you, rather than... I dunno, all the people who signed a petition, who are presumably doing it just to cause trouble.
Astonishing though it may seem, some of these people react differently to you. They have their own views on things. Announcing ex cathedra that they're factually incorrect in their own opinions and that they should logically be perfectly happy is... unhelpful.
