Hoopla

I'm not saying it's right. However....

Denmark, to the best of my knowledge, is not a predominantly Islamic country. A political cartoonist from that nation ends up drawing a picture of Muslim prophet Mohammed, with his turban transformed into a bomb.

Mayhem ensues.
This is quite the delicate topic. I do pose one question though:

What if this had never happened?

What if, instead... let's say Iran, which to the best of my knowledge, is not a predominantly Christian nation; had its own political cartoonist, and he just so happened to draw a picture of Jesus Christ carrying the cross, which just so happened to be transformed into a rocket-propelled grenade launcher?

How would we all react then?

Whitewashed

On the 11th of this month, my girlfriend and her choir were performing at a church downtown. A few hundred people came out to watch this event. I showed up early so I get get a great seat in the balcony with a clear view.

That's when I saw 6 Indo-Canadian women sitting in the pew next to me. We made eye-contact and I gave them the "hello" nod. Now what was different about these women is that they were quite "white" and they looked at me as if I was not to par with their "level of excellence". Well screw them!

The girls were dressed like Paris Hilton wannabes (who would want to be that?) and the mothers were clean cut, but bitches nonetheless.

Somehow I knew that not even one of them would speak a single word of Punjabi or any other language of the homeland. Truly whitewashed....

this was confirmed when the crowd would clap to the music of the choir. They of course, clapped out of rhythm.
