Cartoon rage

muslimcartoons.gif

As I'm sure you've read in the paper, the Muslim world is in an uproar about a series of cartoons that first appeared in a Danish newspaper which featured the image of the Prophet Mohammed. It is considered a blasphemy to depict Mohammed period, let alone mock him in a cartoon. Danish dairy products company Arla is losing $1.6 million in revenue a day due to a boycott in the Middle East.

Newspapers throughout Europe are now reprinting the cartoons ... and receiving bomb threats because of it.

So, of course, I'll add my own fuel to the fire of fanatacism by displaying one of the cartoons (above) and providing this link where you can see the rest of them. Lighten up, people!!!

(I can't help thinking about last night's "Colbert Report," there was a whole bit about images of Jesus, including one of Christ shaking hands with Ken Lay.)
