Huh, who "accepts poking fun at Jesus." NOT ME! And I doubt many Christians do.

But neither do I think it's right to retaliate against it.

Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.

um no, barack....

not 'we'

i reserve the 1st amendment right to speak out against any 'religious belief' that i deem antithetical to human rights and freedom

and i defend the right of the filmmaker to lampoon mohammad as a womanizing, child molesting fraud

>> If we had more poking fun of Mohammed, they probably would just learn to accept it. Like we do with Jesus.

They should be overwhelmed with graphic images of the Prophet, so that everywhere they turn, there he is. And they certainly would be desensitized. The idea that in this day and time you can control that kind of imagery with violence is just absurd.

We make the problem worse by hypersensitivity to it.
