to abdurahman - "there's no god but allah"

abdurahman here is a classic example of how muslims feel. They keep thinking they are morally superior to others because of their 'true religion' (even when innocent women and children are killed in the name of Islam), and others, who seem to engage in acts which are 'un-Islamic' as animals.

this superiority complex coupled with the inferiority complex which results from the backwardness of the Muslim community they themselves see worldwide disturbs them strongly. and being with 'un-Islamic' communities that are more civilized, more peaceful, more wealthy, naturally breeds intolerance among them as that's not how 'it should be'. according to Islam, non-Muslims should always be iferior to Muslims, living as dhimmis -- this humiliating position being a great incentive for them to convert to Islam. When it is not this way, it's natural that they feel intolerant and it manifests in mindless violence, naturally, as there is more than enough glorification for all kinds of violence and mercilessness in all the literal interpretations of Islam. Can somebody think of anyone place which Muslims are happy to live as a minority not subjagating the rest of the population.

If anything has come out of the cartoon controversy, it's the plain fact that, as long as Muslims believe in the literal interpretations of Koran, replete with all kinds glorification of violence and means of oppression and the vile concepts of Infidel and Jihad, they will never be happy to have non-Muslims who don't accept their religion's superior status, anywhere on this Earth.
