So the actions by elected governments who act on our behalf - we voted them in- are now comparable to violent extremist terrorists who answer to nobody and have no authority?
No wonder you guys don't have an argument, you can't even grasp logic.

How about placing the blame where it belongs .. with the idiot who provoked it by knowingly drawing a cartoon meant to offend along with the magazine that knowingly published it ..
With freedom of speach comes responsibility to use it wisely ...

Just a question to those who are asking for apologies from the muslim world. When in your life have you ever apologised for anything you didn't do or take part in?

Actually, the current government in the UK was voted for by less than 1/6th of the population.

And what does that have to do with the Invasions of iraq/Afghan??
The 'Current Government' were not in charge were they?
I'm pretty sure Tony Blair was your leader at the time and I'm sure he had a far greater number of voters so again, you have no point.
You know, it isn't very long ago I would have said pretty much the same thing but I think i've explained why my thinking has changed.
Maybe yours will at some point, maybe it won't.

Any idiot with half a brain would have known better. The entire thing was deliberatly done to inflame tensions and start conflict .. its done exactly that as intended .. and idiots like you let yourselves be manipulated into the coming war by falling for the bull# youve been fed.
Carry on your masters will need you and all the rest for cannon fodder before its done ..

I agree we need to tackle the problem of Islamic extremism, I'm just not sure you can expect a billion odd people to apologise for something they didn't personally do. It's an unrealistic expectation.a reply to: citizenx1

Here we go again. Where were the millions of gun rights advocates in the streets shouting "not in my name" when Adam Lanza brutally shot and killed all those children with a gun? Now I know, they secretly agreed with what he did.

Do I expect people of Islamic nations to say sorry? No. I DO expect them to say "we don't agree with this, it isn't in our name" BECAUSE without such comments, we must conclude it IS something they support.
IF they do, then all bets are off. If the west and Islamic nations ever do engage in a full-on war i will say this - we've got more tech and infrastructure.
We'll be using a cruise missles against a donkey carrying a few AK-47's.
Mind you, the bigger threat in the west are sleeper cells in our towns and cities but in such a war, we'd take up arms and they wouldn't have any soft targets.
