my ten-second take on the Danish cartoons

"It is blasphemous to depict the prophet Muhammed."

Wrong.

It is blasphemous for a follower of Islam.
Don't tell me, a non-believer, that I must follow your belief system.

Word. It can be OFFENSIVE, but not blasphemous, for those outside the belief system. I can get behind offensive, but offensive doesn't require the burning of flags and threats of killing people.

Way to go, extremists! Way to prove the point of the cartoons!

Disgusting. And damnit, I LIKE A LOT ABOUT ISLAM!!!!! I DO, on PRINCIPLE.

Like most belief systems, Islam contains many admirable virtues. As well as appalling ones. It's too bad that - like most belief systems, because it's human nature - that the admirable subset isn't followed more often.
