Sigh. Now how many posts have I done on these sour Danish cartoons? Good grief.
I want to present to you this link that gives a different perspective on the situation from a Danish muslim.
In so many ways, the profound remark President Bush said in his State of the Union speech, applies here, too.
"America is a great force for freedom and prosperity. Yet our greatness is not measured in power or luxuries, but by who we are and how we treat one another. So we strive to be a compassionate, decent, hopeful society."
Yes, it is in how we treat one another that sets us apart.
The Danish cartoons were done in response to how they were perceiving treatment from Muslims. However, the manner of conveying that has been distorted in that Muslims are upset about any image of Muhammad.
Muslims should feel upset and they should stand up for their religion. However, they should also remember that they are known by how they treat one another, as well, which is why the cartoons were done. Do you see the tangled web that is being weaved here?
This is indeed a public relations issue for all involved here. We'll see who comes out with the least mud on their face.
