Q and A with the Islamic World

If you're so inclined to actually listen to what's going on in the minds of those who were protesting the video, here is a good place to start.

It's only from listening to others that you get an understanding of what's actually going on in the world around you.

Otherwise, you're just relying on your own limited sense of it, and are missing out on a LOT of what the world has to offer you in terms of solid, empirical and demonstrable evidence.

Take a listen from the imam, as told by al-Jazeera itself.

And, hopefully, you'll glean some understanding about what they're going through.

It's not very scientific, because you'd ideally have these questions answered by a large sample size to get a representative population going.

But, it's a start for those who are really ignorant about Islam and what it means to these folks over there who are behaving strangely according to what we think is appropriate over here in the West.

Bear in mind, Islam had no scientific revolution separate from religion, chiefly because their religion produced the scientific method that we actually are using to this day in secular science.

There was no secular revolt against organized religion in the Islamic world.

Therefore, how do you expect a people to give up and separate their religion from bad comedy, when they have no basis for doing so within their own world?

Think about it.

And, try to bear that in mind when you're looking at the reactions against the video.

It is what it is.

And is nothing more or less than that.

Think about it.
