In America, you never see Christ depicted in ways that would
cause great offense.

See Piss Christ and Virgin Mary in elephant dung. No, none of
that would cause great offense...

Actually, that's tame compared to other possible images.

You mean compared to Danish cartoons?

Are you serious?

No, other possible images of Christ or the Virgin Mary. (I don't
name them so as not to give offense.) My point: Both religions have
sacred things that they don't like others to mess with. I don't
say Muslims care more about their sacred objects, but they
certainly demonstrate more than Christians.


Well isn't that the point? If I see some offensive image of Jesus
Christ (and I have seen plenty), I roll my eyes and get on with my
life. I don't riot, burn up mideastern images, and issue $1 million
fatwas.

The problem is that the Islamists who are doing the above have some
questionable moral priorities. Why are people afraid to say that?

There are the occasional bombed abortion clinics and sniped
doctors. My point: Your two religions have sacred things.

Ok, lets compare the number of bombed abortion clinics and murdered
doctors in the last ten years to the number of bombings and murders done
in the name of Islam in the same ten years. Yeah, not really comparable,
are they?
