Am I really watching the same people who don't like cartoon characters of their prophet burning mosques to the ground?
I'm not completely religious, but the thought of throwing (in anger) the smallest pebble at a church makes me cringe in fear of sudden lightning bolts.
I'm trying to understand.. and at risk of not sounding completely nuetral in the matter, will stop at that.
My murder-mystery dinner is in three days and I'm getting pumped! I'm playing a partially insane escapee from the loony bin, posing as the chef at the event.....
"HOWZ THE SOUP FOLKS?!" Be good to yourselves.
.. and read on damnit.

Mad 
Not long ago, there was an event in Denmark (the origin of those cartoons) which I don't think got enough attention.
It was February 9th here and an important day (Ashura) for the Shia muslims, where they traditionally march through the streets of Copenhagen.
The marchers did a commendable, proactive job, amongst which having girls handing out flyers explaining what the march was about, and that, as one interviewee put it, this was not a political demonstration, but them practicing their religion.
This was obviously a volatile situation, considering the cartoon crisis was escalating rapidly, and...
...nothing happened. No non-muslim provoked or attacked, and no muslim baited. The march was respected and peaceful.
Such things don't make international media.
I just try to keep faith that things can work out without the war of cultures that some factions try to manufacture these days, despite how succesfully they are at destabilizing the situation (internally in the Muslim world as well, as these events so obviously show). I could go on a long political rant about that, but this is not the place.
So I simply wanted to give a little newsflash about things when they do work out, since all you see in the media is when it doesn't. We need less belief in the violent few who make headlines, and more in the day-to-day life between ordinary people.
