It is tragic that people will go to such extremes over religion as we see occuring in the Muslim street reaction to those Danish cartoons. I don't doubt that there are a few Muslim clerics who have cynically used it to their advantage to whip up anger in the Muslim populace, and it is they who are the real troublemakers here, far more than the people who drew those cartoons.

One of the requirements of maturity is to accept the fact that people will sometimes make fun of things you consider sacred, that they will sometimes disagree with you. A mature society can tolerate such cartoons. So can a mature religious community.

So, teribus, again I am in agreement with you.
