Thanks for keeping at this, Mary Anne. It's an important issue and you are putting it forward well. Whether it gets through or not is another matter...

And actually, some of what you are saying - "providing a common ground" - is why I posted the item that started this thread. I think popular culture sometimes has the power to help build this common ground, and I think "Little Mosque" is an effort in that direction.

        Is their clever juxtaposition too easily interpreted as negative? - SDF - 1/20/2007 2:27:27 AM

        Naturally. If one white man shoots someone, does that make white men murderers? - Mary Anne - 1/20/2007 10:28:04 PM
        
        If one white man shoots someone, it is usually for isolated and unique reasons. - SDF - 1/21/2007 1:39:59 AM
        
        Ah. You must have missed Ireland (Christian on Christian) & the ethnic cleansing in Sarajevo (Christian on Muslim). - Mary Anne - 1/21/2007 2:52:10 AM

        And you hate them. This doesn't make you better than haters on the other side. - Mary Anne - 1/21/2007 3:12:46 PM
        
        It does make me better than them, because I'm honest - SDF - 1/21/2007 7:07:11 PM
