what you ask are charged questions that already carry prejudice, you are not really trying to find answers but making a statement, kinda like the question i asked
Wrong. In this case, I genuinely want an answer.
@Cheesio: Notice how I mentioned 'some' Muslims. I didn't mean all Muslims think it's appropriate.

Can someone explain to me why some Muslims feel violence and death is an appropriate response to blasphemy? Isn't this supposed to be the religion of peace, and thus encourage a peaceful response over a violent one?
Because it's not just an abstract idea to them like it is to you and me. It's an identity. They perceive it as an attack on them personally.

what makes you say that?
this:

even if you are attacked personally i doubt you d resort to something as extreme as murder, it has to be the combo of having nothing to lose and a culture which puts a lot of emphasis on "image"(ironic isnt it)
:D

You make a good point, yet after I concede it you still feel the need to reinforce it. :xfinger:
