Want to be a religion of peace?

…then all Muslims ought to be condemning what happened in this video:

This is all in response to a cartoon by Lars Vilks which depicted Mohammed with the body of a dog. The ridiculous overreaction just doesn’t make sense. It’s a drawing. Besides that, calling Mohammed anything remotely related to a dog should be taken as a compliment.

And as if all that isn’t enough:

An al-Qaeda front organisation then offered $US100,000 ($A110,730) to anyone who murdered Vilks – with an extra $US50,000 ($A55,365) if his throat was slit – and $US50,000 ($A55,365) for the death of Nerikes Allehanda editor-in-chief Ulf Johansson.

Yep, that’s the way to get to heaven: murder and mayhem. If you do it over a poorly drawn cartoon, all the better!
