NYT: Furor Over Cartoons Pits Muslim Against Muslim. ⇒

   22 February 2006, late afternoon

A great article on the problems liberal Muslims face trying to get their voices heard in the recent furor over the cartoons of the Prophet.

"I am telling my people, 'Be rational, think before you go into the streets,' " he said. "Who harms Islam more? This European guy who paints Muhammad or the real Muslim guy who cuts a hostage's head off and says, 'Allah-u akbar?' Who insults our religion, this guy or the European guy?"

  1. The way some Muslims react to the issue is more abusive than the actual cartoon itself.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
