I'll stop repeating myself when people stop believing the same lies, told by the same bunch of self-interested thugs, time and time again.
My point was - and remains - that we, that is, people I know in life or through the internet, seem to be a great deal more upset by a few thousand unwashed thugs of a different religion than most of us have, or have in our backgrounds, than we do about those evils we might actually be able to do something about. Since the US takes the lead in such matters, its government is extremely relevant, not "only vaguely related." I am well-aware it was a Danish paper that started this thing, just as I am aware it wasn't an Israeli paper - that didn't stop the thugs on the "other" side from bringing Israel into it.
All things are connected, my friend.
As for making things personal, you are the one who entered my metaphorical house and said, "Oh, and fuck you, asshole."
Frankly, you only reinforced my point. Perhaps you should organize a demonstration while you're at it, and hurl a few stones at my apartment building.
