Violent Protests of Cartoons

The news about the violent protests over a cartoon published in a Danish newspaper has been quite disturbing. People are losing their lives because someone drew something insensitive. To say that some Muslims have overreacted is an overwhelming understatement. People far smarter than me have been discussing this topic in length. Visit radioblogger.com to see the transcript of a conversation Hugh Hewitt had with Michael Medved, Dennis Prager and Joe Carter yesterday on his radio show.

Also, go here to read the President's response to this situation. The article also quotes King Abdullah II of Jordan condemning the violence that has erupted. I applaud him for standing up against these extremists and calling for peaceful protests. Now if we could get the rest of the leaders in the Muslim world to do the same.
