#1 This tempest in a teapot actually goes to the heart of why Islam and the West are incompatible. "Any kind of cartoon that was derogatory to a race or group in a stereotypical way was 'unacceptable'." Even if the stereotype is a true one. The cartoons were originally published making fun of Muslims' penchant for collapsing into frothing rage at the tiniest incident. Here they are, in high dudgeon at a tiny incident.

Calling the publication of the cartoons "unacceptable" is -- dare I say it? -- unacceptable. You can't have free speech and a free press in all respects except for the ones somebody find "unacceptable." There's always someone willing to find something "unacceptable." Look the the assaults made on Mom, the Flag, and Apple Pie in recent years.

They're emphasizing the fact that one side can't coexist with the other. They're doing that because they think that their side is stronger than ours.

#2 any kind of cartoon that was derogatory to a race or group in a stereotypical way was "unacceptable".

Does it apply to cartoons of jooos in the islamic press, Inayat Bunglawala?

Does or does not,
that is the question...

Until you answer in affirmative, you're just a hypocrite, penny a dozen.

#4 Asghar Bukhari said the demonstration in London on Friday should have been stopped by police because the group had been advocating violence.

He believes that kind of thing should be kept inside mosques, in Arabic, as Allah intended.

#5 "If you want to debate and criticise then we are ready and we have been waiting..."

Sure. And hoping and praying that we would criticise Mohammed. Unh huh...
