The Fury of God

Early in February 2006, a Danish cartoonist had the impertinence of drawing the prophet Muhammad with a turban that resembled a bomb. He didn't mean that the prophet wore such a turban. Everybody knows that in the 7th century, explosives were not yet used as weapons. It was his way of depicting Muslims as violent people, which is a racist and foolish prejudgment.
In response to such injuries, upset Muslims around the world put embassies on fire, killed people and started the Dane hunting season.
Religious authorities in Iran sentenced the cartoonist to death.
It reminds me to a card that juggled my mind when I was a kid. On one side it read "The script on the other side is false". On the second side, it read exactly the same. If one side was right, then the second was wrong and then the first was wrong, but then the second is right and so on.
Leave logic apart, it is not fashionable these days. But where were the Pacifist, such a crowded party in the last half decade? Most were extremely silent. But some could not stay put before such display of intolerance, before this growing hate between Muslims and Europeans. And they screamed out against... guess who. Yea, right again: The USA. How in heaven did the USA got involved in a Danish Cartoon about Muslims? I'm scared to ask. Who knows what feelings such an intolerant question can arouse, specially among the faithful of the Religion of Tolerance.
