Actually I went because I was really tired, logical arguments against conservatives are my strong suit. Incidentally I don't know why you think the media is left winged when they aren't, and I don't know why you think I espouse what my left winged professors say (I can actually prove definitively that you are wrong on that point).

As for the video (which I did say was a perceived trigger), it seems quite plausible that SOME of the attacks/part of this may come from an organised attack, but some of this, like goldfinger said, seems to be protest. The extent of this obviously wasn't one massive planned attack, but rather there was the first protest/attack and then people have emulated it elsewhere and the 'movement' has grown.

My two main points for this entire thing really are a) this isn't one huge carefully planned out anti america (or 9/11) attack, even if that may be an element of it
and b) the majority of muslims do not want to just kill all westerners.

Yellowjacket, how did you manage to do that :P? It does make a lot of sense though...
