Danish police shoot intruder at cartoonist's home


Guy tries to knife danish cartoonist and gets shot.

This story brings up two things. First, foremost, and most obvious is guns are are great tools.

The second thing is that this is not a difference of religion (i.e. one scripture vs another) but a difference of dogma (i.e. one belief system vs another). One belief system holds that everyone involved in the discussion is strong enough to withstand criticism (e.g. parody) while the other holds that response to criticism of something sacred to that party (and only that party) reasonably includes attempting to kill the author and demonizing everyone from his country. A young man tries to kill on old man in the presence of his granddaughter because the old man DREW A PICTURE!!!

Are Matt Stone and Trey Parker living in fear because on South Park they made fun of Christians or Mormons? Nope. They don't even need to fear for their lives when they made fun of Scientology. Do you realize what that means? Islamic fundamentalists are crazier than the folks running Scientology!

That's saying something.
