Go do a search at www.npr.org. That's usually the first radio station

The original cartoons were published Sept.30 in Jyllands-Posten. I'm
not
sure, but I don't believe it's a "Christian" newspaper. The following
link has the paper's rationale for the cartoons.

Interesting debate, freedom of speech vs. religious sensibilities. To
place it closer to home, to those in the freedom of speech camp, did
you
also support Serrano's freedom to display his **** Christ?

Hadn't seen it. But, there might be a difference. Muslims believe it's a
bad thing to portray their god in any way at all. Christians don't have
such issues with the mere existence of images of JC. The *nature* of an
image of JC is another issue entirely.



Mohammed isn't the Muslim god. And it is only *some* Muslims who believe
depicting Mohammed is sinful, because there are plenty of Muslim cities
where he is depicted.

What we have now is the simple-minded Muslim rabble being stirred up for
various reasons.

I think every country should arrest and charge/deport any cleric who
preaches hatred & violence.


Deport them to where, though? It'll be like a shell game. We'll send ours to
you, you'll send them to Ghana or Iraq, they'll send theirs to you.... :-)


Suppose it would be easier if they were actually born elsewhere....
but Texas seems like a good spot in a pinch.
