Mr Tolerant,
Just imagine the fuss in the west if the same paper had printed anti-jewish
material...

Hey all,
Have you guys seen
this story?
A Danish newspaper printed several cartoons of Mohammed last September and
this has led to complaints to the UN, death threats, and boycotts of Danish
goods in some Arab nations (which is how I first saw the story on
ILENN, because many of the news
stories say boycott Danish products including ... LEGO ...). Then this
morning I saw it in the Post because several other European newspapers reran
the cartoons in solidarity with the Danish paper, and apparently the editor
of one French paper got sacked over this. You can see the cartoons in
question on this
blog.

It is a great example of the differences between freedom and totalitarianism;
of tolerance and intolerance. Unless the world of Islam can learn to “live
and let live”, there is going to be a very large and violent cultural war in
the future; I fear that the war in Iraq is only the beginning....
This isn’t a war of our choosing, unless you consider our choosing to defend
our freedom as a cause for war.
JOHN
