That is exactly happening regarding these Danish cartoons, see. Sad reality is that people seem to downplay <em>other peoples'</em> emotions, putting their own first: <em>I</em> should believe <em>my</em> article is downright insulting, but <em>those Danish cartoons</em> are <em>not</em>? I don't believe in that.

It must seem odd to you when an American like me can be so tolerant that he doesn’t need to respond with he same hatred.

We American Right Wingers frequently point out that it is a small percentage of extremists who pervert Islam. When you say that all Americans fit into one category, you're doing the exact thing that you set out to complain about. We do understand though, that for those like you who practice the religion of Hate it is hard to see anyone else's point of view. It must seem odd to you when an American like me can be so tolerant that he doesn't need to respond with he same hatred. Generalizations seem to be as far as your simple minds can see.
