Controversy Over Cartoons.

I just was reading an article on BBC Online about the international controversy that has begun as a result of some political cartoons mocking Mohommad that were published in a Danish newspaper. As of yesterday, 12 people had died in cartoon-related riots. In retaliation, a newspaper in Iran is accepting submissions for Holocaust cartoons to prove the West's hypocrisy in the 'freedom of speech' debate.

Pressing the bounds of freedom of speech is certainly always controversial...and often times art is controversial...this just sounds so crazy. Especially when I think about all the ways our media skews Christ...I wonder if we just aren't passionate enough about defending His image.
