“But the incident was ignited by a contest featuring cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. Any depiction of that Islamic icon is a sin in the Muslim world.”

So even though we are not Muslim we have to behave like we are or face death? The difference between Islam and other religions is that if I eat a ham sandwich, a Jew or a Hindu doesnt try to kill me. Islam is the only religion I know of that demands that even non Muslims adhere to their beliefs or be killed. THAT is the point of the contest.

DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! Finally someone said what needs to be said and understood!

I am NOT a Catholic, but if I don't do the sign of the Cross as I enter my church, I don't have to worry that some Catholic is going to come in shooting up the place!

Murder is a sin, but I don't see the MSM worried about the NUT JOBS that attempt to blow-up Abortion Centers!

This argument is capricious at best, and down right evil, Political Correctness, at worst! Chamberlain would applaud the efforts of BOR and the MSM; appeasement is ALWAYS the answer!

They ain't there now. They get to conform to the way things are done here...and if they find that unacceptable they can catch the first garbage scow back to the dump from which they escaped.
