Cartoonist Molly Norris Driven into Hiding by Muslim Extremism<\/h3>\n

Story <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Among the great religions of the world, where 'great' is to be taken descriptively not normatively, Islam appears uniquely intolerant and violent.  Or are there contemporary examples of Confucians, Taoists, Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, or Christians who, basing themselves on their doctrines<\/em>, publically  issue and carry out credible death threats against those who mock the exemplars of their faiths?  For example, has any Christian, speaking as a Christian, publically  put out a credible murder contract on Andres Serrano for his "Piss-Christ"?  By 'credible,' I mean one that would force its target, if he were rational, to go into  hiding and erase his identity?<\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE 9\/19.   Commentary by James Taranto here<\/a>.  Why doesn't Obama speak up for First Amendment rights in this case?<\/span><\/p>\n

Could it be because he seeks a "fundamental transformation of America," which, as fundamental, would have to involve an  overturning of  the Constitution?  <\/span><\/p>\n

…………………..<\/span><\/p>\n

So what happened to Molly? Here<\/a> is a recent update.<\/span> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
