Dianavan,

Minor point. The Jewish God does get depicted in cartoons (See, for example, the splendid "My God" by the late Mel Calman).

Bigger point. I think you've got something when you say we in the West shouldn't judge Muslims by our standards.
It's just that if that is the way to go then I object strongly to Muslims judging us by their standards; which what their violent tactics amount to.

Related point. There are,I gather, any number of things that non-Muslims must abide by in a Muslim country. Fine, obviously, it's their country. Yet when Muslims are expected by the laws and customs of the West when Muslims come to live in the West, some (many?) object with more than vehemence.
