A few years ago an artist put a crucifix in a jar of piss and called it art. The Pope called for his immediate assassination, and he went into hiding. A few Unitarians protested but were immediately slaughtered by a crowd of angry Catholics.

What's wrong with this story? It didn't happen! I have no love of Christians, but they do have a reasonable supply of "moderates", to keep things cool.

You're correct to mention the brave few. But enough to make a difference? In Saudi Arabia?

I frankly expected more from, say, European Muslims at the time (Salman Rushdie) but the silence was deafening.
