To publish or not to publish … that is the controversy
I’ve been following the current news events around the world surrounding the cartoon controversy. Reading today’s Age online, I read that one of Australian’s famous blogger, Tim Blair, has put the cartoons on his blog. Thus far, all the main publications have resisted printing those cartoons.
My main concerns have been the reactions of the protesters. To say shock is an understatement. All the violence, because of 12 cartoons. It is belittling that people can react in such manners, declaring violence, revenge and war.
I wish, for more tolerance on all sides, and more importantly, for a more moderate, temperate reaction instead of what we have observed so far. I am glad to read the comments on the Age Blogs, indicates the case.

Much as I’m bothered by how some have reacted to the cartoon, I don’t think it was neccessary or responsible for so many people to republish it.
