I have to shake my head in wonder about all the protests about the reprinting of a danish cartoon depicting Muhammed on a rocket.

It characterizes the muslims as a warring, and suicidal religion, which would be far from the truth.

However, with the daily reports of suicide bombers blowing thier own countrymen to shreds, one has to wonder if that cartoon is not too far from the truth.

With the constant rioting and burning of western businesses, as a result of the " cartoons" thruout the muslim world, only serves to enforce this stereotype upon the rest of the world as we watch this sensless violence continue.

While it may be a sin to depict the prophet Muhammed, in a derrogatory way, the reaction we are witnessing has to be equally as sinful.

One has to wonder what would have happened if the Catholic faithful would have taken to the streets in an equally violent protest for depicting the Pope and others in the offensive cartoons about pedophile priests. But, of course this didn't happen, and I wouldn't expect it to.

I can't imagine that any God, would condone the sensless killing of his own worshipers, en masse, for merely being peaceful, by suicide bombers and death squads supposedly doing it in God's name.
