Just worship your omnipotent being, and i'll worship mine

read the article. it's about someone in denmark reviving offensive muslim cartoons. everyone in afghanistan is upset. well if they made a cartoon about jesus and the bible, i wouldn't care. i wouldn't get my panties in a wad about what people in another country are able to choose to do under their laws.
2 statements in the article are worth addressing:
'Spanta said freedom of speech should be used to promote "equality and peace between nations" and to exchange information.'
-No argument here. we should all try to be peaceful people, but it is not a requirement of our existence.
'"Freedom of speech must not be used to make a billion Muslims cry," he said.'
-Why are they so ready to cry about it? Maybe it's a difference in beliefs, but in christianity we are called to suffer and be persecuted. So if someone were to attack our beliefs, we should not fret about it.
Maybe i don't understand muslim beliefs in regards to their religion being attacked but still... it's a rather large world with a lot of people in it and it doesn't make any sense to get upset when someone doesn't agree with your beliefs and exercises their right to speak about it. just ignore it and continue to worship your omnipotent being.

I guess they feel like there are enough of them that if they make a stand it wouldn't be your everyday picket-protest. I agree that it's dumb to get upset over it, though. It's a cartoon. *sigh*
