aseverwas said:I agree with wijg, everyone just needs to relax. Jesus has been portrayed how many different ways. Hell, watch Family Guy for long enough and they make fun of God and Jesus. But you don't see Christians storming the streets, burning things down, and rioting. Instead, we laugh it off because it's a joke!
aseverwas said:PS- Someone help me with a basic geography lesson...This was a Danish cartoon, published in a Danish newspaper, ect. ect. The general theme is "Danish," which I am relatively sure is not located within the borders of the United States. So how come we are catching a rift of shit for it?

BCampbell said:Anyway, this would be a good time to talk about the fact that there are differnet kinds of Muslims just like there are differnet kinds of Christians. There are Christians who bomb clinics, ther eare Muslims who riot. There are also good Christians and good Muslims. This is a relaly sticky situation, and i think this whole this is about more than just a cartoon; it's more like the straw that broke the camel's back.
The problem with the cartoon is that there's no easy comaprison to Christianity. Making an image of Mohammed is a direct desecration to Mohammed. It would be like pissing on Christ's tomb.
