Shut Up, I Explained
From Catholic Culture:
Two gunmen shot and wounded an unarmed security guard in Garland, Texas, as he stood near a controversial exhibit with artwork depicting Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
The gunmen were subsequently killed by local police. The Dallas Morning News reported that the men had attended a mosque in Phoenix and that one was the subject of an FBI investigation.
The Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest was sponsored by the American Freedom Defense Initiative.
A front-page headline in L’Osservatore Romano decried the artwork as “blasphemous,” and the accompanying article stated that “ultraconservative European politicians” were expected at the exhibition, with its portrayals of the “prophet Muhammad.”
Speaking of the “need to approach the religious experience of the other” with a respectful attitude, the unsigned article criticized the exhibit’s “provocative intent, almost wanting to throw gasoline on the fire.”
L'Osservatore Romano is the daily paper in the Vatican City State, and is considered the unofficial newspaper of the Holy See. I would like to ask their editors:
1) You DO realize that the Islamists were there to KILL people? Not insult them - MURDER them? Isn't there, like, a commandment about not doing that?
2) Exactly what did these guys do that was "provocative"? Was being a Christian provocation?
More mush from the wimps.
