Violence won't solve the problem

Just watched/read the news about the update of Cartoon protest around the world from BBC. I regret that those angry protesters from Syria torched the Scandinavian embassies yesterday. Over-reaction and irrationality cause more complications of this issue. The use of violence (even in the language -- the words like 'kill', 'behead', and 'jihad against...' and also sending dead threats to Westerners in their territory ) would only reaffirm the negative 'terrorist' image of muslim in the mind of millions of Westerners and all other people around the world. Islam should literally means 'a religion of Peace' but i wonder why there are still quite a number of muslim out there believe in violence. Even the outrage of the Chinese towards Japanese outbreak last year resulting the damage to the Embassy and the shops and the business already be condemned, what about this one with a huge mass of people burned the Embassies down? I really can't accept this. On the other hand, after incident of 9/11, the biggest ever tragedy for US people in the modern era, they didn't even call out a mass destructive demonstration like those happened recently. Enough is enough. Do not go on a worse cycle of hatred.

People must keep their head cool, and use their head to protest in a more effective and peaceful way, to get the message across, strategies such as creating a huge wave of public opinion pressure onto those who are responsible. I do not think the Danish government has done any wrong in principle -- it's the newspaper that published those cartoons should be questioned. Not any ordinary Danish citizen should be punished for this issue. People should be more open-minded also. Even often there are many anti-west people (vaguely, coz i don't want to point to anyone or any group) always portrait the Westerners as 'evil' people, and humiliate the leaders of the Western countries in various ways, but it seems that the other side has remained calm always and doesn't react the same way as those anti-west people.

Religious issues, i admit, are quite sensitive. It is not about right or wrong as what one thinks, but we have to be careful of what we are going to say that might upset other's feelings. Respect and tolerance are the key. More understanding among people are needed. Also, thinking must not confine within a box, must evolve with time (religious thoughts too).

I could say more, but i think i would just stop here.
