Cartoon Echoes

Pope Benedict the 16th quoted, and made very clear he was quoting, Emperor Manuel II Paleologos of Byzantium in an adress on the incompatibility of violence and the nature of God where the late emperor critcised Mohammed for spreading religion by the sword and Muslim "leaders" are working themselves into a froth about it in a way that is unnervingly reminiscent of the Cartoon Wars earlier this year; howling denunciations, demands for apologies, burnings in effigy-- you get the idea.

Cue the riots.

    I think Little Green Footballs summed it up nicely: "Newsflash: Muslims furious".

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
