And the Muslims have every right to be angry, to write letters to the
editor and publisher of the newspaper, boycott the paper and publicize
the insult. They do not have the right to riot, beat Danish employees,
tear up and vandalize embassies, and kill. That is the difference
between the Christian response to the television show and the Muslim
response to cartoons.
