debra ,   usa   (09.19.10)
he can find her anywhere here because of the reach of his powers as president. actually, he can probably find her anywhere, if she travels on an american passport.
4. to 1 & 2 pure hypocrisy
(09.19.10)
can you allow Holocaust or Zionists cartoons without turning the world upside down using anti-Semitic card?! why it is okay to disrespect people’s religion and holy books but it’s not okay when it comes to Zionists? pure hypocrisy
5. Where are American Islamic leaders? Silent still???
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (09.19.10)
Why isn't the America Islamic community showing their leadership and stepping in to cancel the fatwa and offer to protect this innocent American? Yea, they can build a mosque to promote their idea of peace, but they also appear to be good at ignoring their own Islamofascist terrorists who make an ugly stain on the American cross-cultural map.
6. religion
Islam is ruthless ,   and barbaric   (09.19.10)
7. Free country. Free speech. And all that jazz!
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (09.19.10)
Liberals/Progressives in fear? Now that's irony! Paqid Yirmeyahu Paqid 16, The Netzarim, Ra'anana, Israel Israeli Torah-reverer: Teimani, Baladi, Dor Dai Jew Advocate for Logic as Hermeneutic Halakhic Authority www.netzarim.co.il Welcoming All Torah-reverers (Jews & non-Jew geirim)
8. The Ground Zero Mosque, in the future, will be a hiding...
Abraham J. Silver ,   Portland, ME   (09.19.10)
...place for Muslim assassins, just as the al-Qqsa Mosque on Har Habait (Temple Mount) has become a refuge for mass murderers. And this is the "religion of peace" about which Barackah Hussein Obama has been talking.
9. Wake up and smell the coffee
Rachmim ,   Rosh HaAyin   (09.19.10)
Muslims are allowed to burn Bibles and Torahs Muslims are allowed to destroy and profane Churches Synagogues and the Grave of Joseph, the graves of Jews on Mt. Olives and use the tombstones to pave streets and use as latrines etc. But NO ONE may burn a Koran. or raze a mosque or poke fun or satirize Islam 20 years ago no one heard of Ramadan, The Peace of the Koraish, Taqiyah and Sharia. Well now learn 2 more terms: Dar Al Harb and Dar Al Islam, which mean the world at war and the world submitted to Islam. In Islam either we have not submitted to Islam thus Islam is at war with us or we submit to Islam and Islam rules the world Take your pick!
10. Where is Obama?
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (09.19.10)
Obama used the full-force of his office to support the Muslim demand to construct a mosque near Ground Zero. Obama condemn an American who wanted to use his freedom of speech to burn the Koran. Yet in the case of South Park and now Molly Norris, Obama's voice is not heard.
11. #5 - the difference
Racheal ,   Rehovot   (09.19.10)
You ask what, "why it is okay to disrespect people’s religion and holy books but it’s not okay when it comes to Zionists? " Well, none of it is OK. But people who draw anti-semitic cartoons don't receive death threats, disrupt their lives and go into hiding. Doesn't that bother you? I mean, come on. You can't tell the difference between complaining to the authorities and sending assassins?
12. Islam is such a PEACEFUL LOVING religion
Hello ,   Detroi, US   (09.19.10)
Why are you afraid???????
13. Sorry #5, #11 is my response to #4
Racheal ,   Rehovot   (09.19.10)
14. Everybody go into hiding
David ,   Hadera, IL   (09.19.10)
If the this would be the conclusion, then everybody should go into hiding. To put things straight: I accept that it is a transgression for Muslims to picture Mohammed, a couple of other prophets and Allah. And I don't see a reason why I should do it. It's because it's not on my radar at all. Also there a plenty of Muslims who wouldn't give a flying f**k about it. Yet the freedom of expression is now being held hostage by Islam and no one who is exercising his or her right of freedom of expression is in danger. Bye, civilization, hello barbarism.
15. #4 No hypocrisy.
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (09.19.10)
There is a major difference between politely expressing discontent over offensive slurs or allegations as Jews do, and rioting, destroying things, torching cars, beating people up and issuing death threats as Muslims do. If you can't spot this obvious difference, then apparently you are not too bright.
16. Oye! Another example of American insensitive insularity...
(09.19.10)
aka America's stupid is showing yet again!
17. #4 You tit....
Warren ,   Israel   (09.19.10)
There have been terrible cartoons depicting the holocaust and killing of Jews. It has been going on since WWII and still continues today in every Arab country.(Quite frankly their common hatred of Jews is the only thing stopping them from chopping off each other's head and maybe even your own). So of Course the Jews have a right to protest against it.
18. Fatwa me then ! Molly Norris is great !
DT ,   TA Israel   (09.19.10)
As is anyone who stands against Islamic fundamentalism. Long live Gert Wilders , the Danish Cartoonist and may we have many more of their likes
19. FBI are COWARDS and ordered by BHO
Israeli 2   (09.19.10)
to curb freedom of speech!! Instead of attacking the Muslims, they ask Americans who speak out against USA enemies as to hide????!!!! SHAME!!!!
20. Seems fair
John ,   Israel   (09.19.10)
Paint a picture, get a death sentence. Seems fair, no?
21. Ah, Islam! The "religion of peace"
Ari   (09.19.10)

22. MUHAMAD
Ezra ,   Florida   (09.19.10)
Hey HUSSEIN of the White House(And and most of the American jews who voted him in and still swear by him ever so overwhelmingly), Rereat after me: ISLAMIC TERRORISM ISLAMIC TERRORISM ISLAMIC TERRORISM ISLAMIC JIHAD ISLAMIC JIHAD ISLAMIC JIHAD ISLAMIC PROFILING ISLAMIC PROFILING ISLAMIC PROFILING See if you and Eric Holder,(Attorney General) can do that wtihout developing blisters in your collective mouths.

24. US government shows it is weaker than Islam.
Jae ,   Lynn US   (09.19.10)
25. Would FBI tell women not to run in central park for fear
Jae ,   Lynn US   (09.19.10)

26. cartoons.....
les ,   canada   (09.19.10)
JUST LOVE IT! in your own country, supposedly based on judeo-christian values, one have to go in hiding from those barbaric, stoneage murderers. instead of chasing down those animals, the great fbi runs and hide! US of A, TIME TO HOIST THE WHITE FLAG.....
27. Jae # 25
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (09.19.10)
You ask if the USA is on it's way to being Eurabia? You need look no further than the Whitehouse. Your idea of going after those who can't deal with Muhammad cartoons is good, but what do you do when your country is being led by one of them? Politically correct Democrats have put us into this position.
28. Re :4. to 1 & 2 pure hypocrisy
Galut ,   Selah   (09.19.10)
When offened in the press...Jews a christians do not send asassins... as a christian I pray that the ofender eyes are opened and that he changes his way... I do reserve the right to elevate the problem in the public eye so it can be addressed...
29. How Obama regime protects Americans from islamic terrorism
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (09.19.10)
Despite a clear civil rights violation of this woman's free press rights, the Obama-directed FBI not only refuses to hunt down and arrest those making terroristic threats against this woman's life, including prosecuting radical imams and closing down moslem organizations and mosques involved in the threats, but forces the victim to hide, leaving her career and sever all family ties. The head of the FBI should be fired for this, and Congress should initiate impeachment hearings respecting Obama's fitness to continue as President. Unlike his personal involvement going to bat for the mosque at Ground Zero (opposed by 70% of Americans, far larger than the margin that elected him), Obama shows no interest in this case at all, wants to sweep it under the rug. Meanwhile, he continues to shower the Taliban-bankrolling Pakistani government that initiated this terror campaign against an American exercising her civil rights in her own country with billions in aid, F-16s and long range bombers for its illicit nukes.
30. Muslim threats
RC ,   USA   (09.19.10)
My advice to Molly would be that that she should get a gun permit since she has had her life threatened, and be ready to use it if some Muslim fanatic tries to harm her because in America we have the right to defend ourselves. Like Britain, America is heading towards a very dire situation with the fanatical Muslims. Britain has just about surrendered to them with their appeasements and they make themselves look like cowards when they try to deny that they now have a serious problem on their hands. Just like Neville Chamberlain they will find that appeasing someone or something that wants to submit you does not work. Shariah Law seems to be ready to rise in Europe with the help of the Left wings
