I like this one better:

Not sure I entirely agree with this.

Referring back to the original post, reminded me of a t-shirt I saw in a shop on holiday in Crete, which said:

"To do is to be" – Plato

"To be is to do" – Aristotle

"Do be do be do" – Sinatra

 

There are two levels to take the cartoon I posted: straight, or as satire.  I certainly don't advocate demonizing critics of the Koran as "haters" while simultaneously lauding critics of the Bible as "artists" (e.g., the Piss Christ exhibit is "trendy" and nobody riots and kills people, but a Piss Mohammed exhibit would surely generate global manifestations of unhinged seething hatred from innumerable Muslims, and of course would never even get off the ground with funding and support from our institutions; meanwhile our literati and intelligentsia would turn a blind eye and would continue its obsession with how bad Christians are).

So I see the cartoon as a satirical jab at our insanely irrational Western politically correct double standard in this regard.

^^ Reminds me of an English teacher telling our class that "It's me" is incorrect, but we don't normally go around announcing, "It is I!"

That was epic.
