The fact remains that one who demands tolerance of their sensibilities without extending it to others is unlikely to be respected.

YOu talk about selective outrage and I agree that a person's God (faith in God) cannot be taken away by somebody depicting God as something else like it was done in the Danish newspapers.

In the same lines of what you said which is and I quote "...to people willing to become informed..." I would say that for those who are willing to see this issue in the broader scope, those anti-abortionists should also not impose their faith and beliefs on a woman who has been designated by God to nurture and bring to this world the child she is bearing. The anti-abortionists are like these violent Muslim crowds in Lebanon where they are trying to impose their beliefs on others.

Both of them do so in the name of their religion. Well, IMO their religious beliefs are very very hollow since they think that depicting them in a offensive way takes their religion away (in other words their faith is easily detached).

Just my two cents.
