Comicsreporter reporter (and occasional VM contributor) Tom Spurgeon has a good roundup of posts about the Danish cartoons that goof on Muhammad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have a couple of archive posts that get at the subject of intolerance-through-art. In Weighing In<\/a>, I touch on the subject of how, when people of other faiths are “offended,” they protest or call for boycotts. I cited The Last Temptation of Christ in that one, but you could say the same about Spike Lee’s caricature Jews in Jungle Fever. You didn’t see Jews calling for Lee to be killed. They just shut off the flow of money to his accounts and made sure none of the major networks covered his new movies.<\/p>\n

In Who’s Smarter?<\/a> I explain that Salman Rushdie doesn’t stack up to Madonna.<\/p>\n

I’m happy that the managing editor of France Soir<\/em> took a stand, in solidarity with the press’ right to goof on just about anyone, and bummed that the French Egyptian owner of the paper fired his ass<\/a>, in solidarity with the culture of resentment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
