caroon update

I am chagrined that I become more and more "right" on the cartoon issue, but love the irony that I become more right based on leftist indignation and leftist understanding of a secular, rule of law society...

So, let me get this straight, it's not an insult to my dogma (Western beliefs around freedom of expression and human rights) to overturn cars and set them on fire, burn down property that carries Western business signage or to threaten the violent death of people, to riot leading to the death of people, but it is an insult to publish inoccuous cartoons (and the cartoons are very much that -- go look for them. One is really good; one is hillarious; the others are a snore)that breach DOGMA (not even faith or religious teaching).

And to think I've often wished for a new Roman Catholic reformation--one which results in humanist Popes. Time for another reformation of another religion me thinks so that Islamic leadership begins to reflect modern majority thinking of their faith.

Gonna get messier this wonderfully interconnected world is.
