I am not out to convince people like Mr G and Buffalo Roam. These are the people who would destroy entire countries for greed and ideology and then cry if anyone destroyed a couple of buildings in return. They are more concerned with their hangnails than the dead children they scatter over the globe.
Convicne them not, but at least don't feed them.
As for demonising, this thread is a good example. How does anyone know the bombing was due to the cartoons? Or that it was even by the Taliban? We don't. But it does not matter, does it?
True, is there any proof beside a claim purportedly by al qaida that they bombed the embassy because of the cartoon? I mean is there even proof of say lethal riots over the cartoon either?
