Mohammad and the cartoons - the meeting point

Musings

The Muslims see the cartoons as an insult. What they say is, criticize if you must but do not insult. Why swallow an insult, particularly if you are more than a billion strong. The cartoonist says that a message needed to get across - that the Muslim is unnecessarily being a fanatic. The cartoonist has a point, and the Muslim is not being unfair if he feels insulted. So where's the meeting point?

There will be meeting points only if the world is suffused with democracy and libralism.

It might seem ironic (because the system seems often to spew much hate mongering) but the internet might turn out to be a great source for spreading the democratic and liberal spirit world-wide.
