Gina Cobb has a long well thought out article on why the cartoons controversy has gone on long enough. I disagree with Gina. While I wish that we weren't fighting over some cartoons, which in reality are not that brilliant, the principle we are defending is the cornerstone of Western Society. The freedom of the press is worth the fight, without the freedom of expression we will become our enemy.

Gina a few questions for you. Was Mohammed a moderate or radical? Did he believe that aiding the infidels against other Muslims was A-Ok? What is Dhimmitude? Do you believe that Islam can be judged against the actions of its central figure as we can judge Christianity against the life of Jesus? How do you feel about this: [60:1] O you who believe, you shall not befriend My enemies and your enemies, extending love and friendship to them, even though they have disbelieved in the truth that has come to you. They persecute the messenger, and you, just because you believe in GOD, your Lord. If you mobilize to struggle in My cause, seeking My blessings, how can you secretly love them? I am fully aware of everything you conceal, and everything you declare. Those among you who do this have indeed strayed off the right path.

For sure we have many people who are helping us in this war on terror but are any of them devout Muslims? Or are we depending on the equivalent of Jack Mormons in Islam for our allies?

Because of the murders of Pim Fortuyn and Van Gogh and the threats against the artists of those cartoons, the camel's back has finally given way. If we don't push back hard they may actually believe that we don't care about our own survival. They may believe that we can be pushed to give up all of our rights and freedoms if they merely threaten us. If we don't push back now we actually hasten a war that doesn't have to happen between Islam and the West because they may miscalculate and believe we won't fight. The way to avoid a fight is to be strong and make it clear that we retreat no farther.
Gina Cobb: To Our Muslim Allies: Here's What We Think of Your Prophet
Hat tip to Wizbangs Bomb Squad page which looks to be a very interesting way of collective blogging. Gina's article was here.

Not surprisingly Bill from InDC insults his detractors and then proceeds to get it wrong. Absolutely no one I have read and I have read all the "right wing blogs" are saying that all muslims are bad. We are all saying that Islam is bad. That is a completely different kettle of fish. But naturally I suspect that Bill will now launch into a personal attack that he hopes will cover for the fact that he has absolutely no idea what the hell he is talking about.

The Jawa Report on the other hand gets it right.
