Insult Christianity, and the Christians just shake their heads.
Insult Islam, and get death threats. No, no difference at all.


Rebember the reaction to Martin Scorcese's 'The last temptation of Christ'?
That was less than 20 years ago.

I remember that Christians were upset. I don't remember mass marches,
or calls for the death of Martin Scorcese (and of course, unlike the
cartoon incident, which merely depicted Mohammed, not necessarily even
in an insulting way) that film certainly was blasphemous. There was a
single incident of bombing a theater. In France.

And in fact churches are being attacked in Gaza and the West Bank now.
Including non-Catholic churches. Anything for an excuse, I guess.
