In this spirit, the Council on American-Islamic Relations recently launched a major educational effort called "Explore the Life of Muhammad" as a positive response to the controversy over the offensive cartoons. This campaign is designed to answer the question that many in the West have: "Who is Muhammad?"

It was the same after 9/11 -- Ibraham Hooper on the CAIR web site instructed Muslims to use the opportunity to teach Islam. His message for America was, "The event [his word] was horrible, stop picking on us, let us teach you about Islam."

When CAIR produces "Who is Muhammad and Why Does He Say Those Awful Things About Jews" then I'll watch.

The next time it won't be cartoons that "deeply offends" some Muslims. It will be an unfavorable news article, a supermarket ad for pork -- who the hell knows?!

And our yellow journalists will be oh so understanding.

Politically, quite a few Muslims around the world fear that these cartoons are a manifestation of the contempt they feel the West has for them.

"Politically, quite a few from the West around the world fear that these beheadings, bombs, and other murders are a manifestation of the contempt they feel many Muslims have for them."

There are always at least two sides -- unless you are a radical Muslim.
