I agree with the latter two posters.

This article is a bit misleading. It says there is "outrage" and "anger," but then does nothing to demonstrate those supposed feelings held by Muslims. Indeed, it just talks about a (IMO reasonable) request aimed at a multicultural and international event, a request that simply wants the practices of a large portion of the participators to be respected. What is wrong with that? It seems that IIIX is right in saying that many people just completely reject any religious request, especially when it comes to Muslims.
