protests over the anti-islam film

Is the world really this pathetic? Apparently so. If you don't believe me, check out this article from BBC America.

Muslims blaming the U.S. for a private film made apparently blaspheming Muhammad. Meanwhile, countless episodes of Family Guy and South Park mock Jesus Christ. Did I like that? No. Do you see me warning my own country, threatening lives? No.

Are human lives worth such petty conflicts? We’ll never agree. Christianity vs. Islam vs. Atheism vs. the countless other religions. Democrats vs. Republicans and their neverending corporate-driven hypocritical feuds.

But this is ridiculous. Pacificism is a far greater rallying cry. So many Muslims and Christians cherish our God-ordained love and peace. While we should never support films that give way to such hatred, our response from one religion to the other, from one political party to the other, should be emblazoned with love and peace.

I think God would find that response much less pathetic.
