The cartoon question: [View All]

[donco6]

I haven't heard a decent answer yet to this question:

If the West really is at fault for being insensitive to Muslims and their prohibition against depictions of Mohammed (derogatory or otherwise), where does our requirement to sensitivity end?

What's to stop Muslims from protesting, say, the fact that we let women drive around in cars. That's not allowed in many Muslim countries - particularly the ones that are protesting. Are we required to be sensitive to that?

What about "lewd" movies? What if they protested Brokeback Mountain? Homosexuality is certainly condemned in Islam - hell, they're hanging kids in Iran over it. Are we being insensitive to their religious sensibilities by supporting the right to be gay?

Where does it end? And why did it start here - with this? It makes no sense to me at all.
