You know, this speaks volumes about the mentality of nations that claim that the West is culturally imperialist, is forcing Western morals and values onto their traditional societies, thereby hastening their downfall. It looks like the shoe’s on the other foot now. Who’s asking someone else to impose foreign cultural standards now? Who’s asking Denmark to forego their ‘traditional’ freedoms of press and punish a newspaper now?
Dare one even enquire as to the nature of these punitive measures? Caning the editor in the public market square of Roskilde? Don’t make laugh, ministers of 17 Arab countries. This only serves to worsen the public stereotype of the Middle Eastern countries as hidebound autocracies that propelled themselves from the 8th century into the 21st thanks to petrodollars. Maybe all those National Geographic pictures with the Bedouin neatly juxtaposed against gleaming skyscrapers were trying to tell us something.
But it’s not really their fault, I mean, a certain seriousness in one’s faith is expected from all religious twits. Would they really expect to enter Paradise and enjoy all the pleasures within if they didn’t protect their faith? I guess this means Religion has once again been the source of more discord between men, causing them to bicker and fight rather than live together in peace, which is what they are presumably all about. But what would I know, I am a damned atheist whose soul is already consigned to a certain corner of hell for all eternity. I’ve already paid my deposit and I encourage all of you to drop in and fan the flames, as it were.
And who said blogs couldn’t convey sarcasm.
