Applying reading comprehension a bit, what the court actually said was what I just said they said.

No, what they said was Reza's law system (which is Shari'ah just as much as the Republic of China and America are both Republics) was a danger to the democratic system of Turkey where it was planned to replace it entirely, and was to use force to keep it in place.
Shari'ah is not some monolith you can grab hold of and say, 'this is Shari'ah and it is alike everywhere' no more than you can say the same for all communist, democratic, and despotic government systems.
You'll notice that the court has not banned any further platforms of shariah in other Turkish parties (of which there are) but only saw fit to uphold the ban on one with a leader bent on displacing a sovereign democracy with his own despotism.

Eh, I usually do better, but I guess my mediocre ideas are still good.

The point was that Muslims got mad over a bunch of ****ing cartoons and rioted because of it.

No, they did not. They got mad over a whole slew of things, few if any of it was over the twelves original Danish cartoons.

It's not about Zelda. It's about Islam's well-documented tendency to attempt to censor anything that offends them.

Gee, like how most all other religious groups from Jews to Southern Baptists.
Please.
Well, the correct response would have been "ah, after some googling, I rescind my previous statement," but since I get this, how about
this and
this and
this and
this and
this and
this and
this and
this and
these many statements and
this one and
this whole page of links to such statements and
this and
this and
this collection of condemnations and
this one and
then this one count for something. Didn't you notice those? Why not?
How about this statement by
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi or this one by
Abdul Hakim Murad of Cambridge University? Not enough for you? Then how about this fatwa against targeting civilians by
Shaykh Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti, or this condemnation of suicide bombings by the Grand Sheikh of the al-Azhar mosque,
Sheikh Muhammad Sayyed Tantawi, or
this extensive list of fatwas by various Muslim scholars against terrorists?
Want more? I can keep this up for quite a while. Here's a
Pakistani Muslim scholar. Here's
another British one. Another
Pakistani scholar. And
another. How many more would you like? Here's a fatwa against Bin Laden by
Spanish Muslim scholars.
"Virtigo, Virtigo, where's the condemnation of terror by moderate Muslims!"
I dunno, lol.
