I saw on Yahoo this morning that Chirac had condemned the publishers and creators of Mohammed cartoons. But, by the time I had a chance to grab it for this post, the story had been taken down.
Maybe it was a mistake.
Drudge has a story up that Islamic groups are calling for an end to violence. Should we believe them? Are these the long searched for moderate Muslims finally poking their head out above the fray?
God, I hope so.
Let me be clear, it isn't that I don't believe there are Muslims who are moderate. It's just that I don't believe we've ever seen evidence of a large Muslim political organization that is moderate.
Once again, the French people are showing balls. A French Magazine is the latest to publish the catoons. ON THE COVER.
And finally, here's the latest from George Bush on the cartoons:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Wednesday said governments around the world should protect the lives and property of diplomats against the violence that has erupted over published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.
Bush said he and Jordan's King Abdullah discussed the Muslim reaction to the cartoons that he called "a topic that requires a lot of discussion and a lot of sensitive thought."
"We believe in a free press, and also recognize that with freedom comes responsibilities. With freedom comes the responsibility to be thoughtful about others," Bush said.
But, he added: "We reject violence as a way to express discontent with what may be printed in a free press."
He's right, Freedom does come with responsibility. And, right now, at this point in history, it is our responsibility to protect our Freedom by publishing more and more and more cartoons.
The world needs a lesson is Free Speech.
