[Peace-discuss] re: Those cartoons of the Prophet

[Karen Medina]

I think the world is focusing on the wrong thing. The real 
problem is not about a cartoon characterization of a prophet 
and the value of freedom of speech, although these are 
worthy of discussions by all means. The real problem is that 
the world is in turmoil, so much so that the slightest thing 
will set it off. 

A little heat over here, and a slight breeze over there are 
not the problem, they don't make the forest fire. The 
problem is that there has been a long term drought and the 
whole forest is ready to go up in flames. If it is not this 
heat and this breeze, it will be another set. So what are we 
going to do about the volatile-ness?
