Missileer (this is going to one of the rare instances that we agree )
Not only that, but the muslims are hypocrites on respect for religons. Non-muslims (Christians, Jews, Hindus) are persecuted in many Arab countries, both legally and illegally. Christians and Jews are very common scapegoat in that part of the world, (similar to Jews were in the 1930s)
and very often are subjectated to violence. The authorities are noticeably passive when in comes to protecting minorites. But when a stupid cartoon comes out IN DENMARK (not even a muslim country) the Danes are supposed to bow down to them? Its exactly what happened in France with the headscarf issue, the whole ME went into a uproar about what was going on in a NON-MUSLIM country. Could you imagine the reaction that would happen if the Pope started demanding Catholic doctrine be enforced in Saudi Arabia? Far more respect is given to Islam in the West, than Christianity or Judiaism is given in the Middle East. Under no circumstances should the newspaper apologize...
One final note. One of the very few good things that Yasser Arafat did was that he made sure that the rights of Christian Palestineans were respected. Now that Hamas is in charge does anyone want to take odds about how well they will view Arab Christians, or Islamic Jihad for that matter...
