This cartoon pretty much summarizes the whole struggle between the Middle East and the West. We should have learned this lesson from from Salman Rushdie years ago.
In a nutshell, the conflict is between these camps:
Tyranny, censorship, thought control, and thuggery
V.
Democracy, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, individual rights, and law
The cartoon story makes this struggle CRYSTAL clear.
There are lots of things I see every day that are offensive to me, but I have NO right to wave a gun or threaten people. Same for these hooligans. Religion is no excuse.
I used to think Israel was way off base, but you know what? Lately I have alot more sympathy for the plight of that country.
