Okay, I'm not a Rhodes Scholar, or anything close, but a couple of things make me curious about this whole thing:
This cartoon was printed in Aug. or Sept. of last year - why the protests now?
If Mohammed is the person they say he was/is, why the violence?
The real problem is, we're dealing w/a 3rd world country that thinks they are world class. It's a different mind-set. I've seen it in places like Panama and Korea. We live in a country that has a seperation of church and state (at least for now). As such, we do not fully understand everything that the Muslims feel of the cartoon. I can't think of a true comparison between the Muslims and others, because, honestly, I do not understand how - if Mohammed was/is as compassionate as they say - they are so violent.
