My Opinion on the Anti-Islam Video Causing Demonstrations in the Middle East

  • c0 an American flag is burned in Gaza during a protest over the anti-Islam film on YoutubeAny intentional slight against a personality or ideal that others hold sacred is cruel and unnecessary.
  • Any religion that cannot absorb intentional slights has some serious self-examining to do.
  • A free society is filled with both.
  • Those outside a free society cannot imagine what this freedom is like and may refuse to believe it exists.
  • Sensitivity to those slighted seems to be prompted as much by fear as by sympathy.
  • 2,000 years ago, the particular deity I worship was reviled, flogged, spat upon, nailed naked to a cross, and stabbed with a sword. He died that way while his family and friends and strangers watched. There is a certain humility and peace one develops when dwelling on that.

That is my opinion on the anti-Islam video causing demonstrations in the Middle East.

I haven't watched the video.
