Heres a project: head down to Mexico City and hold a sign or wear a t-shirt depicting the Virgin Mary doing something obscene. Or go into some country village in Poland and depict the Pope as a pedofile. Then start counting the minutes before you get shot in the face.


Not the same situation at all. Instead, just post an editorial cartoon to the papers in Holland depicting those scenarios in graphic detail. Then observe that it doesn't cause worldwide rioting.

Cheers


Agreed. While I tend to agree with visuvius on a lot of points, there is no excuse for the backlash from those cartoons. To use the Muslim's faith as any sort of excuse or justification for that reaction is like trying to excuse the behavior of NAMBLA by saying "you just don't understand how they feel about young boys." I'm obviously not trying to equate NAMBLA and the Muslim faith, simply saying that unacceptable behavior is unacceptable behavior, regardless of the reasons behind it.
