Oh woe is us. The islamists are revolting again.

Men in beards are burning things in the street. People are unfurling
orthographically-challenged banners for the cameras. Ultimatums are being
expressed in no uncertain terms!

Chris X, your opinion is needed: Is this a storm in a teacup that will be
forgotten in a matter of days, just like the Danish cartoons were?


Look, I have little time for any religion and Islam would very easily come
at the top the list, but please please can someone tell me exactly what
this man has actually done for this country which is so important that it
deserves a knighthood?

Now I'm not usually into conspiracy theories, but things being what they
are the government knows very well the kind of reaction that this was
going to provoke in less enlightened parts of the world, therefore one
could be excused for thinking that a major consideration was an attempt to
deliberately stir up some kind of confrontation with the Muslim world.

Well, it's been at least a year since they furiously sacked a western
embassy. They need the practice.
