I wonder if the "Everybody draw Muhammed" phenomenon has the potential of mass destruction of the general moslem idea of Muhammed being perfect, when he wasn't.

Now that's a gestalt. The hardcore followers seem challenged and appalled by the realization that anyone would besmirch the purity of their religious icon.

Yeah, okay. From my point of view it's difficult to imagine that any highly publicized affront to their beliefs could be viewed as destructive. I'm not among those who feel they are being subjected to that treatment. It's pretty much standard fare in Western societies for the old beliefs to be challenged on occasion (if not regularly). What is needed to bridge this gigantic gap in understanding?

IMO that's a bit like asking what's need to bridge the pacific ocean. Even poking fun at something like the figure of Muhammed is to them the equivalent of a terrorist attack on the White House for Americans.

Yes, that is quite an ominous void. The problems won't be resolved for many years to come, but it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility that some hope could be established on either side of the line. We can progress further from there.

Christians and Jews are actually allowed to be Dhimmi—second class citizens—under Islamic law. This is the source of the idiotic PC claim that when Europe was in the middle ages—enacting pogroms vs jews, for example—the islamic world was more tolerant, etc. That they "tolerated" SOME PEOPLE as 2d class citizens is faint praise, frankly.

Out here in dar al harb, however, such niceties don't apply, anyway.

@ Kreshkart: The problem is Mulims only tolerate Muslims, in their Qur'an it states that all others, Christians, Heathens, etc, must die, though it is the extremists only that enforce this, and Christians certainly don't fly jets into buildings killing thousands of innocent people.

Christ said: "Love your neighbor as yourself", "Love your enemies", "turn the other cheek" etc.

I say "Make love not war!!"
