This Is Scary, But Enlightening
In Brit Hume’s Grapevine we read the following:
A government minister in India has offered $11.5 million to anyone who beheads one of the Danish artists responsible for those controversial cartoons of the prophet Muhammad.
Muhammad Quereshi — minister of state for Haj and Minorities Welfare in India’s largest state, said “the avenger” would also receive his weight in gold, adding that the money would be paid by the people of his province.
The state’s home secretary tells the Arab News that Quereshi “was simply expressing the common feeling of members of his community” and violated no laws since he “did not make the announcement in his capacity as a minister.”
What’s more frightening, the fact that this guy said it, or the fact that it was characterized as “the common feeling of members of his community”? Seriously, though, one cannot help but see the difference between the Christian community and the Islamic community. In Alabama, a bunch of Christian churches have been burned to the ground and destroyed. Christians are taking up arms and calling for the beheading of those responsible…no wait a second, they’re not doing that. They’re not doing…anything.
Meanwhile, cartoons have got the Muslims engaged in civil discourse such as burning down buidlings, rioting, and threatening to behead cartoonists. All for an “insult” to Islam.
