To each their own...

I was watching old episodes of Penn Point[http://revision3.com/pennpoint] on my Zune. I find myself enjoying a lot of things that Penn does because he seems to be very honest. I was enjoying the show[http://revision3.com/pennpoint/mollynorris] were Penn talks about the cartoonist that went into hiding by the suggestion of the FBI because she was going to do "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day". I understand that Muslims think it is wrong to draw Mohammed in any way, shape, or form. I can respect that it is very important to them. But i never gave the Molly Norris situation much more thought than that. In the episode Penn made a great point. Their rule about drawing Mohammed is just that. THEIR rule. I, like Penn, don't consume drugs or alcohol. But that was a choice that i made long ago. It is not something that i make everyone around me obey. So Muslims have every right to be upset with people within their same group, in this case religion, breaking the rule. When people start thinking other people have to follow their guidelines that are not laws it causes problems. I think that mode of thought can be applied to almost anything.

It is shame that poor Molly Norris had to change her identity. I hope she is doing well, where ever she may be.
