Freedom and Respect

Yes I support freedom above and beyond all religion, and politics... Freedom of choice, freedom of act, freedom to bear arms, and the freedom of speech. These are the ideals that our democracy was born and based on. I have seen with mine own eyes cartoons depicted by Muslim extremist and their media outlets, which summon up the horrific crimes perpetrated on the Jews in World War II turned into a parody on the Palestinian internment camps... While this is both repugnant and offensive to me, it did not become the ignition point to riot, loot and burn as have the recent cartoons depicting the Islamic profit as a terrorist. The profit Muhammad said to "hold to forgiveness, and to turn away from the ignorant", as was the word of Christ to "turn the other cheek", and to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I think the cartoon however vulgar and ill conceived as it has become, is meant to question moderate Muslims, in that the teachings of Muhammad would never condoned the acts of heinous, violence especially on the innocents. It is time for those moderates to speek out against these cowardly acts!
