The New York Times online reports the following:
About 1,000 Muslims held a peaceful rally and prayed in a park near the United Nations today to protest the dozen caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, originally published in a newspaper in Denmark, that have set off a series of violent demonstrations around the world.
Officials from various New York-area Muslim religious and community groups that organized the rally, the first major gathering of its kind in the city, said they wanted to speak out against the “demonization of Muslims” in Denmark and the violent protests in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries. Local Muslim leaders were scheduled to meet with officials from the Danish Consulate after the rally to present them with books about the life of Muhammad.
OK, sounds rational for moderate Muslims to protest the violent protests happening around the world about this issue, but what’s up with “demonization of Muslims” in Denmark? These are some of the most benign doodles and caricatures that wouldn’t begin to pass muster as decent political cartoons in a U.S. newspaper. Guess our home grown Muslims are as thin-skinned as the rest of them? Sure hope not.
Michelle Malkin has pics up, and the signs these peaceful rally goers are shown holding are anything but comforting! (db)
