I know Mel Gibson was a complete jerk for saying what he did, and it is reprehensible to burn the Koran, or write jokes about Muslims, but does anyone but me see a double standard here when it comes to Christian things?
Example: Madonna mocking a sacred Christian symbol in her show by being on a disco-cross with a crown of thorns during her R-rated show...(Not to mention NBC agreeing to air it)...If someone acted out a sacred Muslim tradition, they would be practically burned at the stake in the media!!
And Christians are always portrayed on TV and in movies to be right-wing fanatic nut jobs (I agree that some are, just like there are nut jobs in EVERY cultural/social group) but there are lots who aren't. Why is this behavior accepted, ner I say even encouraged!!
