I am an Orthodox Christian. Throughout the history, my country (Georgia) has been opressed and conquered numerous times by muslim countries. Most frequently the two big ones: Turkey and Persia (now Iran). Those were the largest historical enemies of my nation for centuries. And they always had armies tens and hundreds times larger than a small nation of four million or so (much less back then) could ever have had. Fighting with the muslim invasion has been the matter of survival for at least 10 centuries.
So, I can not be blamed for being a "muslim defender". I can have more reasons not to like muslim culture than any stupid Danish cartoonist would ever.
Yet, the only feeling I have about this matter is disgust towards the so-called "free press". I can not believe the magnitude of insensitivity and lack of morale the western press displayed.
First of all, it is amazing how they perverted the substance of the matter. For example, BBC tries to tell us that the whole story is about painting the prophet, which is a sin in Muslim religion. As if that's what the whole thing is about. A lot of other publications, try to push the same line. Very few mention that actually, it was not just painting but highly insulting painting displaying prophets (Mohammad and others) as crazy bombers. Do you see difference?
The worst thing packaging all this up as "free speech". Oh, yeah? Since when is insulting somebody free speech? Leave alone insulting one of the largest cultures on earth? And how stupid you must be to do this when the relationship with muslims, is already tense and far from the best.
Yeah, yeah, "free speech". Let's ignore that media has long become a brainwash for masses. Its value as a driver for democracy is long gone, if it ever existed. But when it comes to messing up the whole word - well, how can we ban some dumb-f*ck Danish newspaper from insulting half of the word? Oh, that would ruin the Democracy! And there goes a long line of other dumb-f*ck european newspapers backing this crooks up.
Then be surprised when Madrid is bombed, next time.
Damn... How can people be so stupid and blind?
