That's Funny? |
| Wednesday, February 01, 2006 |
Here is an article about how some cartoons in Danish and Norwegian newspapers that mock the Islamic prophet Muhammad have sparked outrage and threats of violence: Cartoons of Prophet Met With Outrage.
The cartoons are clearly offensive attacks on the faith of all Muslims and it is not surprising that people are upset (if similar cartoons were drawn about Christians there would be considerable protest and outrage). Thus, it was sad to learn that one of the newspapers that published the cartoons was an evangelical Christian paper in Norway. The editor said he had received death threats and hate letters.
What did he expect? He published hate cartoons and thus should not be surprised to receive hate mail. How does this guy think he can reach out to the Muslims in Norway with the Gospel if he so grossly mocks their faith? Why must Christian newspapers publish tabloid trash? It is time for Norway's Christians to demand the editor leave or to cancel their subscriptions. |
