The whole point of being liberal is to divorce oneself from any thing sacred.

If one is liberal it logically follows that nothing is sacred.

The difference between islam and all other religions is, all other religions tolerate blasphemy from non-believers knowing that it is a matter between the blasphemer and G-d. In effect, such blasphemy as committed by Andres Serrano with his stupid work called Piss Christ is merely a fool digging a home in hell. Christians are offended by it but it is a matter for the "artist" to explain to his G-d.

islam has the ridiculous idea that we care what they think. No one but a fool cares what islam teaches or requires.

The protests by Muslims demanding violent revenge against the cartoonists -- or, in some cases, against Denmark generally -- are an affront in their own right to a religion of peace.

Ummm...I think the moniker "religion of peace" is wearing a bit thin. People are just not fooled by that anymore.

THE CARICATURES of Muhammad that have ignited an international furor are offensive and recklessly off base in portraying the prophet as a terrorist. The cartoons lacked artistic merit or satirical sophistication. We have to wonder: What were the Danish cartoonists and the newspapers that originally decided to publish them thinking?

Maybe, Ms. Editor, you should actually do a little journalistic research. (I know, I know, that isn't popular in your line of work these days. Sorry.) They were printed to protest the fact that publishers and authors had a tough time finding illustrators who felt that they would not be in danger for daring to draw images of Mohammed, the insane pedophile, p!55 be upon him.

The Danish were just catering and trying to find a "shoe that fit's" and have achieved their goal in spades.

...great lapse in taste and cultural sensitivity

Yeah, unlike the great taste and cultural sensitivity exhibited in Gay Pride parades.

San Fran-sicko MSM has succumbed to the pandemic called Dumbitis.

The post modernist delusions have infected these media writers who know absolutely nothing of the world except through the msm...a revolving vicious cycle.

"The cartoons lacked artistic merit or satirical sophistication."

Artistic merit? Satirical sopohistication?

The old gaurd still think that "they" set the standards in America don't they?
