We are all Danes now

I think this article sums it up quite nicely.

Hindus may consider it odious to use cows as food, but they do not resort to boycotts, threats, and violence when non-Hindus eat hamburger or steak. They do not demand that everyone abide by the strictures of Hinduism and avoid words and deeds that Hindus might find upsetting. The same is true of Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Mormons: They don't lash out in violence when their religious sensibilities are offended. They certainly don't expect their beliefs to be immune from criticism, mockery, or dissent.
But radical Muslims do.

Here's what Muslims seem to lack: a sense of humor.

That anything so mild could trigger a reaction so crazed -- riots, death threats, kidnappings, flag-burnings -- speaks volumes about the chasm that separates the values of the civilized world from those in too much of the Islamic world. Freedom of the press, the marketplace of ideas, the right to skewer sacred cows: Militant Islam knows none of this. And if the jihadis get their way, it will be swept aside everywhere by the censorship and intolerance of sharia.

Honestly, do you folks have to take everything so completely seriously?

Honestly, the hardest thing for me right now is realizing that I agree with an editorial published in the Boston Globe.

You people need to relax. What, I'm over-reacting? Like they say, one picture...



Heck, I'm on a roll here - let's make it two:


Wake up. Welcome to the 21st Century.
