If religion is strong enough to matter, it is strong enough to withstand hateful acts, bad press and distortion. Any religious movement that has to resort to violence loses its legitimacy.
We're not living in the sixth, seventh or even eleventh centuries, shouldn't we rise up out of darkness and walk forth into the light of enlightenment?

So why don't you condemn the acts which have been done in the name of art and free speech to begin with? So you don't have to deal with the consequences. There is a poster on CUF who even called to support a day of drawing Prophet Mohammad in solidarity with someone who has now
apologized. What sort of intellectual concern has shadowed these appaling actions? You want an intellectually fit behavior? act like the one.
