About Danish prints and Muslim’s riots
Problem is how much are westerns going to tolerate intolerance. Problem is how much westerns are intolerant with intolerant people. I am a western. I, personally, find difficult to tolerate intolerant people. What we ask from Muslims is let us think and publish whatever we want for ourselves. If you don’t like it, just ignore it. It is not published for you or against you, it was not intended for provoking you. It is just something that we can publish as we publish any other thing, including your Holy Book. Why you Muslims want to control what we publish and what we read and what we talk about? What is what you lose if we publish those cartoons? What does your God lose? I am an agnostic (however in the day to day I behave much like an atheist), but if your God exists, I guess your God can’t lose anything, he is God and his power is not possible to be diminished. You can be as faithful to your God as you want, your God will be as powerful as always. Let him punish whatever unfaithful or sinful attitude or activity we, westerns, typically do. Why you have to help your God on doing so? I don’t think your God needs help on doing so. If we are to be punished, I am sure when we die, your God will punish us with all his justice and all his power. In the meanwhile, please leave us alone. We are not harming anybody publishing or reading anything… maybe we are only doing something against us, but definitively not against you.
I could not agree more with you.

This is a complicated issue with no end sometimes, I reckon.
