Cartoon statement

Seems much of the blogosphere, including some of those on my new Blogroll list, have decided that the recent cartoons posted in the papers overseas viewed as offensive to the Muslim practicianers, are a valid subject to publish on their blogs in support of freedom of speech and in support of those papers who have published said cartoon. Well, fine for them, but not for me.
In my opinion, it adds absolutely nothing to the debate of what's going on in the world today. Muslim vs others? Islam vs Christianity? New Crusades driven by cartoon publishing? Not right, in my opinion.
Therefore I have deleted some of the links from my newly established Blogroll list that are promoting these cartoons.
That's my opinion and that's my blog.
Publishing these cartoons does nothing but add to the strife and stress bewteen Islam and the rest of the world.
That all being said, if Muslim faith really preaches nonviolence as much as it preaches non-cartoon depiction of Mohammed, why is there so much more outrage over these cartoons than there was/is over the violent deaths in NYC and elsewhere? Why is there such a different standard? Why not the outrage over the violence delivered by the extermists throughout the world, but so much outrage about published cartoons?
Me thinks you doest protest too much.
Me thinks you are hypocrites.
Me thinks you should pack sand.
Me thinks that things are pretty farked up right now.

PS: Islam believers: You quit blowing people up, others'll quit publishing cartoons, we'll all get along in a better world. Deal? OK. Deal.
