And yes I am serious. According to their belief system as I've understood
it, and put forth by a talking head on CNN earlier today, Islam holds that
any representation of god or the prophets is wrong / blaspehmous /
insulting. Jesus is recognized as an authentic prophet within Islam,
therefore any representation of him should be just as compellingly offensive
to them as the current one's of Mohammad seem to be. So where have the
fundamentalist Muslim outcries been over The Last Temptation of Christ? Or
over The Passion of The Christ? or even over South Park using Jesus as a
character? These few Danish cartoons sparked this outrage at an insult
against Islam, supposedly, yet representations of Chrsit, by their own
belief system, are also just as wrong and yet where is the outcry? I tell
you where, utterly absent. Seems the radicals aren't even holding
themselves to their own supposed beliefs unless it suits. Certainly makes
me wonder.
