Dr. Wheeler, yet another power house article. Concerning some Moslem's sudden 11th hour outrage about old Christian art that illustrates the historical clash between cultures, may I ask them most rudely-
1.) Are you ready to condemn the endless stream of slander and libel gushing forth from Islamic extremists against Christians and Jews? And...
2.) We live in a free society, so we don't cleave to the notion of beheading anyone who offends our beliefs. But could you at least show some civilized sympathy to Christians and Jews who are attacked by the trendy overgrown adolescents of the Art World with such "artisic truimphs" as a portrait of the Virgin Mary in elephant dung, or "artistic" photographs of statues of Jesus Christ and Pope John II immersed in urine entitled "Piss Christ" and "Piss Pope" respectively. NO, we are NOT asking for repression of speech or expression, just a a simple expression of indignation at a breech of good taste.
Funny, I'm not even religious, but I felt compelled to write the above.
