Firestorm Over Cartoon Gains Momentum - New York Times
A fucking cartoon. Are you kidding me? What the fuck is wrong with people? I'm really starting to think that most people are just fucking insane. If you don't like the cartoon, then don't read it. Is it really that fucking complicated?
And if you're upset over a cartoon depicting your prophet with a bomb, I'm not sure responding with violence makes the most sense. That might just perpetuate the sterotype you are offended by.

I don't get your point, who is trying to be politically correct?
I don't know about any US Army cartoon.

Allow me to perform a public service.
Traditional Islam prohibits the drawing of anything that is living.
Thus the artistic expression of Muslim countries is calgraphy.
The traditional penalty for blasphemy against Islam is death.
This was the case with the fatwa against Salman Rushdie. A misionary who tries to convert Muslims is traditionaly put to death under Sharia law.
The creators of these cartoons have created a double whammy.
This settles the question in my mind. Religiosity is insane.
storm, the Muslim community is angry because their religion expressly prohibits anyone from drawing Mohammed, as a protection against idolatry (I think). So it's not so much political correctness as it is people being overly sensitive about their religion.
In that sense, it's the exact analogue of the Christian Right in this country getting offended when NBC produces a TV show where Britney Spears says something semi-tasteless about the crucifixion, or any of the other moronic things that they get up in arms about.
On the topic of the Joint Chiefs' response to the WaPo cartoon, I think they too have proven themselves to be a bunch of thin-skinned morons. As John said in the original post, it's just a cartoon. Don't read it if you don't like it.
Chemist not even close as the Christians do not threaten violence
or kidnapings over material they do not like.
I saw that picture of you without your shirt on your blog. You should consider shaving your back and letting your friend Rob do the photoshop work
That might just perpetuate the sterotype you are offended by.
LOL.

There is a distict difference between mere protests and threats of violence. If all Muslims were doing is protesting that is fine. Howeverthreatening violence is another matter entirely.
Sponges are asexual .
I thought they were blaming the Jews?
This whole issue seems completely unrelated to the United States, so I'm not sure what you're talking about regarding being in battle with anyone.
