The cartoons and the camel in the room

The commentariat's response to the Danish cartoons that mocked Muhammad reminds me of the iconic scene in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Challenged to a duel by a scimitar-wielding enemy, Indiana Jones draws a pistol and dispatches the swordsman without further ado.

In my analogy, Indiana Jones, however, is the Muslim world. His showy opponent is the West, which has unleashed its penmen on rampaging Muslim mobs to convolute about the values of freedom of expression, enquiry and conscience.

How have Muslims responded to these lofty disquisitions? As Indiana Jones did, lethally – by calling for the heads of the offenders. From Indonesia to Egypt they've kidnapped, killed and set fire to embassies and missions, promising to visit a "holocaust" on those who pictorially depict or misspeak about Muhammad.

WND is sometimes over the top, but this article was pretty good.

Thanks for posting.

Muslims in general don't believe bin Laden pulled off Sept. 11 – they think the Mossad did the deed and the CIA helped frame him.

So do most of the far left liberals.
