A different point of view

I saw the following headline on Drudge:
Shooting in Iraq Mosque Angers Muslims

and thought of the perfect rejoinder:
Muslims Shooting From Iraq Mosque Angers Americans

or perhaps:
Crashing Airliners into New York Commerce Centers Angers Americans

To Muslims, I say:
You defined (or if you're a "moderate", then you allowed to be defined) the Rules Of Engagement when your "extremists" attacked a civilian commerce center: that is, a lack of ROE. Anything goes. Don't complain when we respond in a similar fashion, for it's not America that's responsible for the initial tone of the battle.
