Syria: It's Denmark's Fault
In an earlier post, I opined that the violence is the fault of Islam and it's seeming unwillingness to encourage it's people to act in a civil fashion. The Syrian press government doesn't agree with me:
Syria blamed Denmark for the protests, criticizing the Scandinavian nation for refusing to apologize for the caricatures of Islam's holiest figure.
"(Denmark's) government was able to avoid reaching this point ... simply through an apology" as requested by Arab and Muslim diplomats, state-run daily Al-Thawra said in an editorial Sunday.
Hmmm... Maybe this isn't so hard to sort out after all...
And then there's this:
"Insulting the prophet was unacceptable, resentful, and a sign of barbarism," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said, adding that Tehran planned to take further action.
No, Hamid. These are signs of barbarism:
