US ambassador killed over a film

If I were you I would (like me) worry a lot more about christian fundamentalists in western countries that have no excuse whatsoever of being extremists and in the mean time try to get rid of science. Half of the population of the US are the same type of people as these protesters only they have their second religion which is consumption which most of the time is a bit more powerful.

Yeah, you don't understand them. They have no interest in tearing down science. They have an interest in preserving their belief system against a minority of science revering folks who are calling them irrational idiots - a small minority are Christian fundamentalists and/or believe in biblical inerrancy and/or papal infallibility. The vast majority just try to find a path of coexistence -- with both extremes yelling that coexistence is not possible -- you must choose a side.

The bigotry that I see is in when some people take wacko extremists - such as those who funded/promoted the film, or that wacko Kansas family, and paint the entire Christian world with them. They are useful idiots whose antics draw negative attention in the press and aid the anti-religion crowd make their point. Just as Islamic terrorists do not represent the typical Muslim, nor make Islam an evil and violent religion.
