They aren't jealous. I didn't say that, nor would I ever. They posses a competing view of the world. Perhaps you see them as people acting on their feelings, and I see them as people acting on their ideas?

Two very different approaches. Interesting.

I'll buttress my own point --- the same idea that fueled the 9/11 attack on the United States also fueled the pillorying and intense ridicule of Denmark after one newspaper published an offensive cartoon about their religion.

Our egregious crime to those people is that we are guilty of simply being a Western country.
