I can't believe I'm writing about cartoons!!!
When a system of belief claims to be absolutely true and does not allow rational criticism and debate it should automatically be discarded as dangerous. This should thus happen to all major superstitious belief systems, i.e., religions, if they are so constructed.
It so happens that a very vocal minority of the "Muslim world", along with many necessarily less vocal fundamentalist Christians, orthodox Jews, etc. do not accept this basic premise of enlightened reasoning. Too bad. The author of this piece finds "the cartoons" in question "ignorant and offensive". Tough. Life can be so hard! In reality the cartoons are a mixed bunch: Some are pretty funny, others mediocre, some in bad taste, and one even pokes fun at the publishing Danish newspaper itself.
It you don’t want to be offended by cartoons, simply skip the funny pages in the future, but please don’t tell me what I can and can not read!
