Recently Bill Clinton addressed the attack on the American embassy in Lybia, as it pertained to the retaliation of the Lybian people for that movie. What Bill said was that people need to stop freaking the fuck out every time something is said about Mohammed that they think is offensive. They need to stop taking every sly comment as some great personal affront that they can use as an excuse for mass violence. The war will never end if they can't control themselves.

I think the same can be said for Christians. If Christians are going to be offended and get all pissed off every time someone takes an extended period of time to express anti-religious viewpoints, then they will never reach a level of tolerance for others either. Now they can say that it's the squeaky wheel getting greased and not all Christians are this butt-hurt, but until the alleged minority steps up and puts out as many interviews and comments that they are not going to respond to the rhetoric, the precious few who do make headlines will continue to represent the majority. And they will give people like Keith and Chemda, who clearly do not agree with them, endless amounts of material to discuss.
