CARTOONS WORSE THAN 9/11 AND 7/7 ATTACKS

George Galloway responds to a question, from a reporter for the Algerian newspaper El Khabar, about his personal position on those cartoons:

Personally, I condemn these barbaric and evil acts. Today, the objective of the Western states is to control the oil of the Muslims whatever the price. In fact, the cartoons published in Denmark did not surprise me because the Western states have been waging fierce attacks against Islam for years. These began by humiliation, insults and then occupation. Today they reached the point of ridiculing the prophet. This incident is worse than the 11 September attacks in the US and the 7/7 incidents in London. Therefore, today it is the right of Muslims to express their anger and to defend their right and faith.

Galloway obviously subscribes to the notion that the cartoonist's pen is mightier than the sword. I don't know, if the objective is control of Muslim oil at any cost, western leaders might want to consider a strategy a tad more direct than cartoons and just kill the Muslims and take the oil.
