All i see wrong with those images is the burning of the flags with the statement "go to hell". I beleave from my belief in Islam that all nations deserve respect.

However back to the point whats wrong with these images:

http://allempires.com/forum/uploads/Cellular/2006-02-11_0125 28_terrorist_1.jpg

Above we see an image of a group of ladies carrying out their democratic and Islamic right to protest. Is this a problem?

Perhaps Celluler you name the image 'Terrorist' simply because they are carrying out their dempcratic right of freedom of expresion in their clothing.

http://allempires.com/forum/uploads/Cellular/2006-02-11_0127 20_terrorist_3.jpg

People shout at demonstrations, whats new?

Is the fact that one of the men are wearing a shemagh the reason for naming this picture terrorist3?

It is quite apparent that those from the west that claim to respect individualism (which includes the right for one to dress in any attire) see it as some what of a threat when peole dress to represent their Islamic belief.

Please, do not turn a discussion into what I named the pictures. I saved them as such because it would be easier to find on my computer.

And please do not dismiss the point being made. The point which i brought across of which i shall remind you of is that because of their attire not only your self but others in the west associate it with terrorism. Why not name it demonstration, Muslim etc which goes to prove this stereotyping upon appearances. "Dont judge a book by its cover"

I my self own a shemagh, fez, topi and other Islamic hats along with baseball caps and other western hats. My political inclination does not change simply by the changing of attire.

It's Bosnia. And so what? Seems in this day and age it seems everywhere fundamanetalists are sprouting.

Again why are they 'fundementalists'?

They are Bosniak Muslim's who are angered at the cartoons and have demonstrated. Protests are not only part fundementalism, or are we to believe that democracy is a fundemantalist ideology because they allow protests
