Where is the Outrage??

I have been following the Newsweek scandal...wrote tons about it...then later deleted it (read previous post).

Anyway, I like what Dennis Prager wrote yesterday (HT: RealClearPolitics).  Here is an excerpt:

And now a word about the rioters. They have desecrated their religion and their holy text far more than the alleged flushers of Koranic pages.

Did any Buddhists riot and murder when the Taliban Muslims blew up the irreplaceable giant Buddhist statues in Afghanistan?
Did any Christians riot and murder when an "artist" produced "Piss Christ" -- a crucifix immersed in a jar of the "artist's" urine?

When all Christian services and even the wearing of a cross were banned in Saudi Arabia? When Christians are murdered while at prayer in churches by Muslims in Pakistan?

Have any Jews rioted in all the years since it was revealed that Jordanian Muslims used Jewish tombstones in Old Jerusalem as latrines? Or after Palestinians destroyed Joseph's Tomb in 2000 and set fire to the rebuilt tomb in 2003?

It is quite remarkable that many Muslims believe that an American interrogator flushing pages of the Koran is worthy of rioting, but all the torture, slaughter, terror and mass murder done by Muslims in the name of the Koran are unworthy of even a peaceful protest.

Good point!

Related:  I guess religious intolerance can only be charged when/if evangelical Christians simply ask people to accept Christ as their savior (see previous posts on the Air Force Academy).  But when other religions torture, slaughter and burn...where is the outrage?  Cricket cricket....cricket cricket.
