not being offended enough to riot over cartoons is a western value. just because we think this way does not mean others think that way nor will they ever think that way in the forseeable future. this article is comparing apples to persimmons, it has skipped the orange grove completely.

"...it has skipped the orange grove completely."

And one doesn't understand why Darwinists should be "posterized," so to speak - have they been on the side of the terrorists, too?

Um, that is kind of the point here. You are apparently so focused on fruit analogies that it flew right over your head.

Is that what this article said to you? I think it is a slap at the NEA. He was talking about the double standard of the NEA and others who were pushing the limits of our own society. It then suggested a way they could test the limits of those they seem to admire over us.

I think it is apples and apples unless you are into moral equivelancy. Do you see their reaction as morally equal to ours? Or do you think that our appraoch has no merit over theirs?
