Raising the level of the debate
Feb. 18 - The University of Toronto's student newspaper,
The Strand, has published a cartoon depicting Mohammed and Jesus kissing.
The cartoon, "Tunnel of Tolerance," and editorial, "To print or not to print," can be viewed here (registration may be required.)
Unsurprisingly it has caused a bit of an uproard , but the U of T student newspaper refuses to apologize for publishing the Muhammad and Jesus cartoon.
I am in the usual evening rush (wake up, gulp down coffee, dash out) and don't have the time at this moment to properly formulate and present my thoughts, but my immediate reaction is that I like this response to the Cartoon Controversy. I'll try to put words to my thoughts tomorrow.
One sees what one wants to see. I don't see this as a gay statement but as a kiss of peace -- a symbol of acceptance and tolerance between two of the world's largest religions.
Bottom line: the war of terror is not a war on Muslims.
[As I noted, I'm in a horrible rush and thus reserve the right to edit this for the sake of clarity.]

Surprising that the brilliant minds who occupy expensive places in Canadian universities can not resist feeding incentive to Emirs and mullahs to stir up cahotic actions that cost lives.
Our freedom of expression is not under any risk of loss. It is simply wise to reserve cartoon expression until the Jihadist campaign is reasonably past.
Why is it not foolish to make a university and the people who pass and work there targets?
No Muhammed content cartoon is harmless in the eyes of dictators who see peace and democracy advancing on their total power.
When more of our troops enable democracy to become firm in Iraq and Afghanistan, the expression of Muhammed cartoon humour will be easily tolerated as long as it is funny and not an expression of hate.

I just put up a post on this very cartoon issue.
See the post at "Exposed Agenda" at
http://cowtwngrl.blogspot.com/2006/02/moonbat-publishes-jesus-mohammed-gay.html
You'll see that I had opined on it firstly on the basis of what was reported in the Ottawa Sun (which was very irresponsibly misleading) and then on the basis of the cartoon I had the presence of mind to Google and found for myself. The transition of thought should be interesting to see, for it'll illuminate the difference between being manipulated into an incorrect impression by the MSM and seeing the truth for oneself and formulating an opinion based on that.
Which brings me to the post just above this one on the so-called fire-exchange in Afghanistan.
