   The ability of Islamic people to be offended seems to be in direct proportion to the number of interpretations of the koranic verses they pretend to defend. It would be interesting to ask those guys if they know what part of the Koran has been offended. Or are they just there to look fierce and intimidate people?

   Don’t ask smart question to dumb assed person, they will think you are stupid and brainless. Check out their head…. you’ll find nothing there…. check out their pocket, maybe they just got brand new 50 from their chief.

   I am a Muslim. I have seen the cartoons.
   They are silly- I giggled.
   I showed them to my son- he giggled-but thought Muhammed should look more like a crazy Arab like bin Laden.
   And there is an element of truth to it- like all caricatures.

   But rational, sensible people can differentiate between an attack on a figure in the metaphorical and a literal attack on their beliefs.

   For balance- when willl we see a gay Jesus or Mary having crazy sex with Joseph and a sheep?

   And maybe a Rabbi eating a Palestinian baby?

   There is always more at play than the superficial in Indonesia- we are a wayang nation. You only see what the dhalang lets you see.
