Nice article - Killing the Americans:
"Keen-jerk reactions as happened more than 20 years ago with Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses and today with the work of inconspicuous individuals - whilst fully understandable - do not behove self-appointed representatives of Islam to misrepresent a faith that does not ordain killing, destruction or retaliation. Plus, there are mightier ways of defending Islam, and the "sword" should not be one of them. The Prophet's stature does not diminish with disparaging cartoons or films. In fact, they tend to do the opposite: Reinforce Muslim attachment to God's messenger."
I agree with his assertion that Muslims have lost the art of understanding satire. Though I'm not so sure I agree that spoofing the Jewish faith is "off limits."
