Riots in Morocco

Another day, another riot where thousands pour in the streets, chanting "Death to America, Death to Israel!", and generally being a pain in the neck, right? No, not at all. Fortunately, there are millions of Muslims in the world who understand that death and destruction are wrong, and that freedom and liberty are rights. This picture shows them protesting against Al Qaeda. Betcha didn't see that on CNN, did you? As of today, searching CNN.com's website produces no mention of them, but they did cover a Moroccan sports story from the same day! Oddly enough, the AP and Reutuers did release it, but the MSM hasn't picked it up yet.

Once again, a hat tip to Al Jazeera for covering this story that the western press is afraid to touch. Also, the Lebanese Daily Star and the Iraqi Al Mendhar covered the story well.

After two Moroccans were kidnapped and sentanced to death by Al Qaeda in Iraq, Moroccans have become inflamed. Morocco has been supportive of the new Iraqi government, and the Iraqi people. In a speech that I felt echoed some of President Bush's comments, Moroccan Foreign Ministry said its embassy would not succumb to "blackmail," particularly "coming from a terrorist group which cannot claim to represent Iraq."

Funny how Moroccans in France violently riot, trying to gain the right to enforce Sharia law within the ghettoes, while Moroccans in Morocco peacefully demonstrate against violence.

Good comments on these protests are over at Hyscience, Gateway Pundit, In the Bullpen, and Officers Club. Check them all out.
