I am against religious intolerance...

Recent conversations with family made me understand more some people's sentiments about the Mohammed cartoon controversy. Remarks such as "I am insulted that Muslims dare say that my god and their god are the same" or "my god is more powerful than your god" simply make me sick. I wonder what the gods have to say of the "fight" we are starting on earth in their names! A Muslim friend once told me that God is like the mountain, there may be different paths to the mountain but they will all lead to the same mountain. Something to ponder on...
Another remark that i think is so enlightening in the light of the cartoon controversy is a statement of a Muslim on Arab TV trying to explain why the West dared do such a thing..."Freedom of speech is their religion so they will defend it as much as we defend our religion. It will be some time before they will understand that religion is as important to us as freedom of speech is to them."
