Curious
Now, I don't want this to turn into anything politically incorrect, but I'm just curious.
There's some major turmoil right now surrounding a cartoon that was drawn and published in a Danish newspaper that shows Muhammed wearing a bomb-turban. Obviously this isn't exactly a politically correct thing to publish, but it doesn't violate any free speech laws, and the paper has issued an apology.
So then, what's up with these muslims in two countries now having BURNED DOWN as many as 4 embassies now!? Like we're talking about mammoth protests, violent protests, and presumably tens of millions of dollars of destruction.
Why? It seems that the root of the problem isn't even that Muhammed with a bomb for a hat is bad. It's actually that ANY image/picture/drawing of Muhammed is against Islamic law.
But here's what I want to know...if it's against the law to have ANY image of Muhammed...then how does anyone know that the cartoon actually WAS supposed to be Muhammed, rather than just...some...guy?
