The Islamic cartoons. Well I only understood the problem a few days ago. I thought it was inconceivable what was happening (I still do). I mean to destroy something just because of some drawings? To ask, for the execution of a cartoonist just because he has bad taste? To burn a flag just because that country has a newspaper that published something that insults us?
But then, I understood. If I, that have access to various types of information, news channels of all over the world, internet that as no restrictions, find myself not being able to see them… how could someone that has no access to information know what the hell the cartoons mean, all they know is that the people that they trust most (their religious leaders) said they needed to fight them with all their strength.
Islam will be a huge problem to all western countries, because we don't understand how can a population agree on electing a radical lieder. We don't understand why they think they need to attack us… and probably they don't understand it to.
The big problem is that things the west considers acceptable and catalogues as freedom, the Islamic world sees as an insult and does not tolerate them. I think that probably the only way to solve this issue is for both parts to give up some of their thoughts and find a compromise.
We in the west have to restrict a little our freedom when it comes to questions that have to do with Islam, and they will have to have a more tolerant vision of the west. Only with this accomplished can we all live in community.
