Some Quotes from "Western" Muslims
The cartoon riots across the planet have grown old. In fact, I suspect it is this boorish behavior that causes the United States of America to balk at the awarding of a contract to the United Arab Emirates to run this country's major ports. There's something to be said for such as images and public relations. Something the poobahs desperate to control oil wealth and behind the scenes choreographers of the cartoon riots do not quite get.
Us Americans, silly us, don't take kindly to this sort of civil unrest and the images of those "seething Muslims" burning cars and embassies is not, I suggest this softly, such a good sight byte. It's the sort of upheaval we have come to associate with the so-called angry Muslims across the world. And having the UAE manage this country's ports brings visions of this sort of activity on our own land.

And
"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital.
Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed.
Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves the much higher compensation."
Abraham Lincoln, State of the Union message
