Irshad Manji’s take
As always, pretty funny and to the point. I especially appreciate this:
“To judge the root problem here, let us first determine how the cartoons became an international incident. Last September, these comics ran beside a story about the hurdles encountered by a Danish author in finding someone – anyone – to illustrate her children’s book about the Prophet. Every artist she approached declined the job out of fear of having to contend with Islamist extremists. [...] We Muslims love to lecture about the need to assess touchy matters – such as offensive Quranic verses – ‘in context’. The context in which the Muhammad cartoons first appeared suggests that frustration, not malice, was the motive.”
Looks like the illustrators asked to help with the book were right. These riots certainly send the message that one ought to be afraid of the extremists. But just as with 9/11 and the London bombings, we cannot let extremists control our everyday lives with fear. That is giving them power. We – all of us, muslims and non-muslims – cannot let them control what we do.
