...and I thought baptists were scary

Apparently no one is allowed to draw caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad without causing mass protests and global embassy burnings.
This blog could go so many ways. I could take the "violence is never the answer" route. Or maybe the "what are they so pissed off about" route. Perhaps the "I'm mad 'cus I don't have the same civil liberties as most others but you don't see me burning down Pat Robertson's house" route. I could get really bigoted and go down the "if you would take some anger management classes and stop beating your wife and making her wear that ridiculous shrouded outfit in 102 degree weather" route. There is also the "I've seen gay Jesus, black Jesus(closer to the truth, deal), lounge singer Jesus, Jesus having sex and ice skating Jesus but I don't remember an embassy being burned down as a result" road.
But the truth for me is "The world would be a much better place without any religion." That's a direct quote from someone I met at a dinner party several years ago and I totally agreed with her. I can hear the gasps now. I'm not suggesting the immediate outlaw of all religion, just suggesting a wish that the concept of religion had never occurred to mankind. That's my opinion. Get over it.
