Well, I guess we're all on the same page here. What amazes me is when editorialists who declaim portentously that our free society is threatened if some Christian group bitches about public funding of an "art work" mocking Jesus or Mary or whatever -- which happens to be their right in a free society -- suddenly discover that not only is mocking Mohammad unacceptable across the board, but that riots and embassy burnings to protest same are somehow understandable if not actually defensible. Bear in mind that many of the imams protesting are routinely given to telling their congregations perfectly revolting things about Christians and Jews. These guys want some respect from everybody, they better learn how to extend some to everybody.
I am in 100 percent agreement, Willis.
