Dude... I've read your previous blogs and don't take you to be a communal person, but really.. you let your creativity get the better of you this time. I liked your illustration... even think its funny... and I'm a Muslim... Its quite true too, but there is a problem.Like so many other people you too have shown a very narrow point of view. You admit to not knowing if Islam is violent and that in itself shows you have little knowledge about the faith. Yet you thought it was ok to classify all us Muslims as violent. I mean if you had written Islamic extremists then yea.. I would agree 100 %... but Muslims ? I think not. Maybe you should know that the so called Muslim terrorists arn't actually Muslims at all... just a bunch of losers who justify their insanity by hiding it behind the garb of religion. And the whole world believes them !

Also, fellow Indian, your US and THEM tone.. you are doing what every other brainless idiot is doing all over the world. There is only one us... we the people... and only one them... the terrorists, fundamentalists. No matter which religion or region they belong to. WAKE UP man... its not about the religion at all.

I know man i agree with you, that i wasn't justified to include all muslims under one broad category. I have actually protested such broad generalisations in one of my previous posts.
However, my point of view is that the community as a whole is taking itself way too seriously, protesting everything anyone says about them more than it should. Hindus doo this too, but the scale and violence of the protests to the popes comments, almost made it seem like they (the comments) were justified.
Thanks for the restraint you have shown in your comments and for taking the time out to write. I did get out of line and i admit it.
I am sorry for that.
