Re: cartoons...
last time people reacted a lot. the reaction took the world by storm.some had banners that said "kill those who say Islam is a violent religion" perhaps without sensing the irony. many buildings in lahore and other areas were burnt down. a couple of got killed. the whole of the world came to know how "peaceful" muslims were, how they could take an insult, how they were "following" the footsteps of the prophet by doing the exact opposite of what he would have done in a similar position. we were made a laughing stock of the world.
this time no one reacted. some people tried to stir up things but it did not turn into violence. no one even really noticed the publicity stunt by this swedish. it passed unnoticed.
i think the second time was better. I think we should have reacted like that the first time too. but I guess we are not capable of doing sensible things all the time.
