[Physicist]

So I feel an instinctive sympathy for Muslims who still hold to the belief that there is such a thing as blasphemy.

Yes, there is blasphemy...and we had all better INSIST upon our right to blaspheme. Anything you say might someday be counted as blasphemy by somebody.

And yes, that means somebody might stick a crucifix in a jar of urine from time to time. But that's the price of being able to say the name of some heathen god without having your head chopped off.

I recall a time in America when we had free speech AND people weren't placing crucifixes in urine. It is possible to have both.
