"I'm just amazed at how quick they are to jump to the defense of Islam"
I'd point how my original question was about bowing to Emperor Hirohito nor was there anything in this discussion that lends itself to your implication but I don't see the point as it seems you are going to make up your own conclusions regardless of whatever fact you are presented.

Might I suggest you limit your attacks to what people argue rather than their character because you do a very poor job of it?
