rolleyes: and my opinion still stands

I was waiting for the infamous Muslim cartoon rights protest..firstly those protest clearly got out of hand people ended up dying and death threats were made etc only a few non-violent marches took place during that time by muslims in certain countries..this is a 1,000 person protest...and even with that amount of people protesting aggressively, Chirac is still rallying behind his prime minister on the bill..so do you really think a non-violent protest would get the point across?

Civil disobedience works best to show the oppressor that he is doing wrong..But Chirac is acting to stubbornly.
