Spacko Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6021702499.html A must-read. In particular this paragraph: Has Jyllands-Posten insulted and disrespected Islam? It certainly didn't intend to. But what does respect mean? When I visit a mosque, I show my respect by taking off my shoes. I follow the customs, just as I do in a church, synagogue or other holy place. But if a believer demands that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And that is incompatible with a secular democracy.
