Right off the bat, this clown Brown makes a mistake by trying to equate Jesus Christ and Muhammad; where Christ is God, Muhammad is just a person, somewhat like a minor Old Testament prophet.
Secondly, these anti-Christian tests that Brown is proposing have already taken place and we know the results: in the case of 'Piss Christ' and dung covered Mary, most anger was non-violently directed at the federal government for financing such literal waste. And, more recently, supposed pop singer Kanye West posing as the crucified Christ on a Rolling Stone cover was greeted by Christians with a collective shrug and the thought that, even with all his money, Kanye is still a loser.
The overall difference: Christians have a strong God Who wants them to live as free people; Muslims have a weak prophet who calls for submission of the individual to his totalitarian fiefdoms.

But how would you feel about it if we ran a cartoon depicting Jesus Christ in a priest's garb sodomizing a choirboy to illustrate the sexual abuse scandal in the Roman Catholic Church? They are so out of touch with reality to bring this up. The image of the Virgin Mary has been up on this CNN site for the last five years.
"The Holy Virgin Mary" by British artist Chris Ofili. He used elephant dung and images of female genitalia in that work. The art was paid for by U.S. taxpayers.
The question for this lame-stream newspaper is this, if the art the Muslim's object to was paid for by taxpayers and the Muslim's were complaining about that, whose side would you come down on.

Muhammad's newest bride, American liberalism. This is a race issue, not a religious one. The left is soft on Islam not for reasons of religious tolerance but because they're not white and they're not Western, they are indeed anti-Western. Any hint that a non-white, non-Western culture is a threat to the existence of the West is a blow against multiculturalism, one-worldism and mass-immigration into the West, it might make Westerners think that maybe it's a good idea to try and preserve their cultures and nations and that must be prevented at all costs.

Why did I cancel my subscription to the Chicago Sun Times?
Oh yeah, because of their terrible coverage and wacko left editorials. For further proof, look at anything written by Roeper.

Oddly enough, there might be violent protests from
Muslims over mockery of Jesus.
Jesus is the second greatest prophet of Allah (according to Muslims).

Muslims worship a picture!
Christians worship a risen Saviour, in spirit and truth.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Can you imagine an effigey of Mubombedd immerrsed in piss? The resultign riots would be Romper Room compared to the cartoon reactions. We have to hit back hard in the escalating culture wsr!
A liberal friend almost stated uncategorically that she would have Muslims knocking dowm her door, rather than the US continue to fight this "phony war on terror.
Unfricken believable. She's Jewish too...

Well .. Jesus was beat up, spit on, vilified, kicked, nailed to a cross.
Hmmmm?? I don't recall anybody taking to the streets to protest and killing people and burning down churches and businesses.
And .. I agree with you .. you cannot equate the SON OF GOD with the "prophet" Mohammed.

This is a good time to note something I've wanted to point out. It's probably not gone unnoticed here, but I've yet to hear it mentioned in the old media.
It's funny how these riots start on friday and become murderous and violent, but then they tail off all week and blaze up again the following friday. Obviously it is the moolas and ima'ams in certain mosques that are inflaming their sheeple.
We should shut down any mosque that preaches hatred, and turn it into a McDonalds.

We know what Christ went through for our sins. Heck, Mel Gibson did a very good job portraying it in the Passion.
Does this Yahoo actually think that Christians would go up nuclear if he drew what he describes? If it was plastered all over the front page of the NYT? If a college of all of what he describes was plastered on the Washington Post?
He just does not get it. He just does not get Christians.
Cest la vie.
