Muslims Are Pissed Off Again, Film at 11

Barely a day goes by without more news of Muslims being pissed off at something else and yelling and screaming for blood and death.  Today is no different:

Outrage over Salman Rushdie's knighthood threatened to ignite across the Muslim world yesterday.

"The West is accusing Muslims of extremism and terrorism," he told his country's parliament.

"If someone exploded a bomb on his body he would be right to do so, unless the British government apologises and withdraws the 'sir' title."

So, remind me again why we in the west tend to think of Muslims as prone to extremism and terrorism?

It couldn't be because

Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

Could it? No, of course not.  I guess I'm just Islamophobic.
