What's the reason that you equate them with murderers? Why do you bring those cases up, who react in the wrong way, to justify the cartoons, who insult all muslims, by mocking at their idol as a terrorist? There is no reason to insult anybodies religion - be it a majority or a minority.(I don't know why this even needs to be discussed) There is even no reason to insult someones religion, even though he may be one of these misguided persons, who are terrorists. You may insult their actions, but not their religion. If Ammachi asks to respect religious feelings of the muslims, she is indeed NOT putting gasoline into the fire. To ask for a reconcilary attitude is very appropriate action. So, she is right on, and I think it would be good if all religious leaders react in a similar way. AFAIK the pope said something similar. ------------------------ Yahoo!
