and that's exactly the point. if you don't condone terrorism but it's what everyone else perceives as what you stand for, then it's your problem to get rid of it.
if smith's kid comes over and fucks with me, and i go over to smith's house and his kid isn't gettin an ass whoopin, smith and i got a problem, right?
[quote=malayday]and peacefull muslim community trying to win over you heart...what the hell does that mean..i dont undertstand..your saying that the muslim has to take initiative to prove to you something which is relative to you?...what?...[/quote]
whether or not they condone terrorist action is not "relative" to me; they either condone or they don't. and yes, it is their responsibility to make sure that they are portrayed accurately in the media...who else's? If the community does not like the stereotype that they are all flag-burning, suicide-bombing extremists, then it is their responsibility to stop the propagation of this stereotype by stopping the ones who perpetuate it. And by that I mean not cartoonists, who are merely commentating, but flag-burning, suicide-bombing extremists.
