Factually incorrect

Assalamu Alaikum Sword of God. I am obliged to contend with some factual inaccuracy in your statement.

You stated "Reason being you ridicule the greatness man who ever lived by unanimous agreement "

There is no unanimity whatsoever in agreement of the greatness of the Mohammed character. There are many who charge him with vile crimes against little girls and people who disagree with him. There are those in this world that find him and the image he has left to be rather disgusting.

"and a man for who's reason you and the entire universe were created in the first place. ..."

Only in the view of a particular system of superstition. There are many that contend that the universe was not created with any human beings in mind. Just as there those that contend it was created for all humans equally. One particular superstitious view cannot be used as a general argument.

" Out of more than 7 billion Muslims in the world, "

There are approximately 7 Billion people alive on earth right now, of which approximately 1.5 billion identify as one sort of Muslim or another.

"it is only a small percentage that will take up arms and sock the daylights"

This may be so, but the whole of Islam is the carrier for those. The sea in which they swim and the reason for their existence. They are the bully boys created each generation to keep the majority tied by fear to the cult.

"... for pulling such cheap tactics as to promote "Mohammed cartoon day" and go on a Koran burning rampage. "

Personally I think this is a really good idea, because eventually the bully boys will have to return to work, will tire of the constant chanting, jeering and fighting. The mockery will then sink into the background as an accepted thing that the people who choose to remain with Islam will have to put up with, just as adherents of other cults, and religions have to. Eventually they will just shrug their shoulders and get on with their day.
