The instant that any ideology is considered off-limits for critical examination and even ridicule, freedom of speech is dead.

Quick...someone tell President Bush.

"While the debate rages, an important point has been overlooked: despite the Islamic prohibition against depicting Mohammed under any circumstances, hundreds of paintings, drawings and other images of Mohammed have been created over the centuries, with nary a word of complaint from the Muslim world. The recent cartoons in Jyllands-Posten are nothing new; it's just that no other images of Mohammed have ever been so widely publicized."

IMHO I do believe we are witnessing the biggest smoke screen ever perpetrated on all people; the excuse to riot over a trumpeted up bit of nonsense to keep the Iran watch out of view. This will back fire and Islam will get the black eye for being so hypocritical.
