On Cartoon Rage

So the U.S. government has now officially criticized the European media that have published or reprinted against a series of cartoons (pictured), a couple of which ridicule Mohammed. In Islam, it is considered wrong to reproduce images of Mohammed. And Syrians today stormed and torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in the capital city of Damascus over the cartoons.

The U.S. government should not have criticized the Europeans here. These are tame compared to Arab Muslim cartoons about Jews or blacks. Wasn't that disrespectful? Yet I don't recall Jews or us causing such a ruckus. I don't recall my government putting out statements whenever Arab Muslims make racist cartoons or music ridiculing Secretary Condoleezza Rice (who is a high-ranking government official...so coming to the defense of mostly Arab jihadi supporters is more important than defending a black colleague?), Ayaan Hirsi Ali of the Netherlands, or black people in general. Maybe we should start threatening to blow up stuff and behead Arab Muslims, and torch buildings whenever they defame our race (which should be before weekend's end). If only Muslims of all races got as upset about terrorism done for their religion.
