| Cartoon War |

Can you really start a war just by publishing a cartoon? Is the sensitivity to the global-muslim culture forcing the world to become more like them? I'm sure the question on everyones mind is, "If they become upset over 1 person drawing cartoons, then what else could tick them off?" What would happen if people totally rebelled against global-muslim sensitivity and began posting whatever cartoon they wanted until global-muslims either put up with the cartoons or start foaming at the mouth with raging anger.
A question I have on my mind is, "If they didn't have gas, would anyone really care?"
Maybe, maybe not. Cultural sensitivity is important when you're visiting someones house or they are visiting your house. You wouldn't eat a Rib eye steak in India. You wouldn't walk in some places without taking off your shoes. You wouldn't blah, blah, blah anyway, I have a bigger question to ask. How now, in our new, instantaneous, around the world, close to becoming one world society, do we stay sensitive to the culture of everyone?
I find many things objectionable about religions such as women being treated as second class citizens in many of those countries or not being able to eat cows or pigs. I say if you're starving to death and you happen to see some wild cow or pig, truly, have at it and if a woman wants to run down the street stark naked, by all means, start jogging. I find many things I object to but I used to practice different religions for a bit and I found many things favorable such as devotion to a creator and a sense of bonding and commonality.
But then you have to consider the fact that if you're wrong, in many religions, you usually end up in a very bad place after you move on. This is something I also partially subscribe to so I tread lightly on many things dealing with beliefs.
I have many vague and not to really definite thoughts about what occured with the cartoon and my only thought is this, I'll respect another persons feelings, as long as when I publish, write, or draw anything in my country and my laws allow it, I'll do it and do it again. There's only so far any culture can be sensitive before you either become like them or they become like you.
