My opinion of the tasteless art: It was tasteless. I didn't buy any of it. I didn't applaud any of it. I didn't advertize any of it. I didn't consider it appropriate, constructive, or civilized. But I'm sure it made the artist some money. Unfortunately.
I wasn't really asking if you were going to buy it. The question was do you think the artists who mock Christianity should not have done it?
The cartoonists have done nothing to the Muslim religion that hasn't been done in spades to Christianity and Judaism. I could fill forty pages here with cartoons from Arab newspapers and other sources whose anti-Semitism has to be seen to be believed.
Or are we going to get into that batshit about the West having to be held to a "higher standard" again, leaving the rest of the world an open license to do anything they want without condemnation?
