Indifference vs....

My gut response to the continuing blather about the Danish cartoons is to arrange for every media outlet outside the Muslim world to display them simultaneously, perhaps in company with selected Robert Mapplethorpe photography and a free choice of any other non-Muslim bit of blasphemy.

Of course, that wouldn't do at all. It's inconsistent with my stated position toward all of the desert religions, which is "ignore them, and they will go away. "

The space and time devoted to this nonsense does seem to be dwindling. We can shortly move on to whatever it is that is offending some other group of faithful people. The Muslims can then try to figure out what it was they were importing from Denmark that made all this seem so important.

All this does make me glad the Westboro people haven't discovered automatic weapons. When last I looked, they hadn't even discovered gunpowder.

It's days like these that we're glad we have a sense of humour.
