Regarding the defamation of Islam by the so-called toilet flushing of a Koran, I can't help notice a double standard here, at home and abroad. When terrorists took over the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, and trashed the place, I don't recall any Middle East demonstrators calling this defamation. Come to think of it, I can't recall any claims of defamation by any churches anywhere either.

Here at home, of course, Christianity is defamed all the time by progressive types to show how brave and transgressive they are. Remember "Piss Christ," a picture of Jesus in a bottle of urine, for which the artist(?) received thousands of dollars? Or the statue of the Virgin Mary in that Brooklyn museum, covered with dung? Somehow I doubt anyone will take a picture of Mohammed (and you are not even supposed to make an image of him) and put it in urine or cover it with dung. The "artists" would probably get feedback a lot worse than people writing angry letters.
