The head of Calgary's Muslim community is considering a civil lawsuit against two local publishers...

This is NOT a bad thing. Many people see those people "over there" as "insane fanatics", but the people "over here" are "just like us." It's not true. Lawsuits like this will help us see that many of the ones "over here" are more like those "over there" that they are like us...

I think it's excellent.

Each one of the cartoons will be presented in court for all to see. Also, though I certainly do not know Canadian law, I presume the plaintiff's lawyers will try to prove the cartoons have defamed or slandered Canadian muslims and that probably requires the cartoons to be proven to be false representations of mohammed's character (any lawyerly help here would be appreciated). It would be my hope that, directly or indirectly, mohammed's character is called into question...talk about blasphemy!
