Muslim Cleric Shows Respect for Religion by Burning Christian Bible
If there are two things that Muslims do really well, it’s burning churches and synagogues and showing respect for religion. In Cairo, the appropriately named Abu Islam, decided to go for a twofer by doing both at the same time and burning the Christian Bible. Christians immediately responded by besieging Muslim embassies and demanding that someone be beheaded for this.
Hmm isn't that what they do to people to desecrate the Qu'ran?
Muslim cleric Abu Islam Burns the Holy Bible in front of thousands of Muslims at protest outside the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, 9/11. His action was met with applause and anti-Christian cheers from the demonstrators. The cleric, before leaving the demonstration and getting into his car, told the crowds “next time I will urinate on it.

Yep that is really showing "respect".
So here we are with current events being all hyped up both in the East and West, and other events are flying under the radar.
The target of many people is a film maker and the mockery of Islam but then nothing but deafening silence from those people about the actions of their own.
Typical hypocrisy which is the point of the thread which is not about the denigration of Islam or Christianity it is about crying respect when they do not show it.

Would it be OK to invade these people with Western Ideas of free speech and tell them their belief system is all wrong and their God is an a-hole? Should we hate them because they're near naked and seemingly barbaric to us? Or should we just leave the people alone and let them think what they want?

If we went in and dismantled these peoples religion (whatever it is) "for their own good" do you think some of the men folk are going to get pissed off and maybe come at you with a blowgun? Would they have a right?
We should not go swatting at hornets nests with sticks
and be surprised when hornets fly out and attack.

There was a video on YT some time back. It showed a couple guy blow-up a copy of the Koran with an M80. It was awesome! The video was on YT for only a few hours before it was removed. I thought for sure the muzzies were going to retaliate and burn down a couple Christian churches in retaliation.

A genius done it to the Koran, Now one of them has done it to the bible, big deal. They can piss on the bible all they want, I use it when I run out of toilet paper.
In the United States of America, we currently have 310,338,864 Americans living inside our borders. I will not take in account how many Americans live abroad. Out of the 310,338,864, there are between 6 and 10 million Muslims living here in the United States. It is believed that about 8 million are considered “spiritual” Muslims. If we take the proverbial 1% we consider radical Muslims running around here in the United States of America, out of that 8 million, that would leave around 80,000. If you want to take into account how many Muslims live in the world today. The Wikipedia report estimates 1.57 billion as the most reliable estimate. That is over 5 times the amount of people who live in the United States. If you want to take 1% of the radical Muslims that we need not worry about, out of the 1.57 billion, we are looking at about 15,700,000. 1% can be a whole bus load of radical Muslims. I’m tired of people who think 1% of anything means squat!

It's important to remember that it is only a small segment (out of the worldwide Muslim population) causing trouble. However, as you correctly suggested, the number is significant enough to warrant concern from the global community. (A conservative figure of 1% would be about 16 million Extremists, a liberal figure of 10% would be about 160 million Extremists.)

Who cares? I was discussing this with a Pakistani guy the other day. He was saying he wanted peaceful revenge for that crappy film and I correctly informed that nobody would give a toss in the western world...
Sounds like the wolf in sheeps clothing to me...
he wanted peaceful revenge

According to Mary Abdelmassih in a story carried by the Assyrian International News Agency (www.aina.org), the cleric, before leaving the demonstration and getting into his car, told the crowds “next time I will urinate on it.”

Ah, who cares! I would piss on the Holy Bible to put the fire out. That's how much respect I have for the book and any organized religion for that matter. They are all primitive belief systems that should have no place in our World. Get over it!
