A Cartoon Trouble!!!

So what’s the deal about the cartoon that has been in news for the past 2-3 days and some countries are burning? Hey guys what happened to the Freedom of Expression? Can’t you guys just take a gag as gag rather than take it with a pinch of salt, and that to from illiterate clergies with the sole aim of creating discord?

Well I do understand that Freedom of Expression should never hurt the sentiments of other people or community, but I guess that the problem should have ended after the Dutch newspaper carried an apology! Well I know that some of you may comment that, “Can the same work after you stab some one to death and then apologize?” Well there are different problems and each have a different solution? But is violence the answer for a gag or cartoon? Is killing justified as a solution?

After witnessing the news of the past one week I can say that the Muslims are having pretty orthodox outlook? They can’t understand a joke and burn up the embassies and another after playing international cricket for 16 years and being the captain of the country says he can’t understand the laws and calls the opposition captain for causing discord between the two countries? Do they think that they are the smart ass and rest of the world’s just a bunch of idiots?

Such senseless ideology, that causes more harm than good of the people? As far as the game of cricket is considered it would be a lot better if the Gentleman’s game is played excluding the team whose captain has the lack of knowledge of the laws? What good would happen in the interest of the game, if the opposite team calls all the dismissals as wrong decisions, and says this is against the sportsman spirit?

And then the Muslims in the country are asked by some clergy to oppose the UPA government just because it did not comment on the cartoon concerning the prophet? Thank heavens that the Muslims in this country have not taken the streets and have greater understanding and uphold the constitution!

As a parting statement or thought for the day: Just give a second thought if all the Sikh community and the Blondes across the world react to all the gags and jabs made on them then what would have happened? If they are taking all these in a lighter vein why can’t the Muslims so the same? Are these guys going to be the cause of the Third World War?

well scary 4 sure dude, but fanatic illusions have always been the cause of uprising a fact you can check throughout the human history...
all wars till now have been due to fanatic or orthodox behaviour... i think that tolerance is a great virtue which should be practiced... anyhow if cartoons were such annoyance then sardars and blondes are one heck of a frusturated group??? ;)... isnt that?
well but i think they are not interested in demonstrations or disrupting other life? are they???...
take lessons from them and get a life... its for everyone... :-)
cheers 4 human race...
