[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know....it is just odd.  We are all reeling from these attacks.  And I still cannot get my head around the significance of it all.

The cartoons were offensive to many Muslims.  But a few fundamentalist crackpots expressed their displeasure violently and outside the realm of conscience.  It was senseless and mindless violence in the "name" of religion.  But the underlying thing remaining is that the cartoons were also offensive to many peaceful and law abiding Muslims.

In light of what has happened, it seems pretty insensitive to flaunt these same offensive images in the defense of "free expression."  We can condemn the attacks and discuss free expression without further insulting a religon and those peaceful people who practice it.  Just my opinion.  [/quote]

Conservative here. I fully agree with this. I think, though, there are more than a few fundamental crackpots and that's why the Muslim community is struggling - they are caught up in the crossfire when so many also condemn the attacks.

I don't want to deliberately post offensive images about any religion, race, sexual orientation, etc, because I personally find them offensive. However, I can see how some might post something and another might find it offensive, when the poster didn't see it that way.

It's more complex than simplistic.[/quote]
