"The story points out that Islamic law prohibits any depiction of the prophet, even favorable ones, for fear it could lead to idolatry.
My question here is who’s eternal soul are they concerned about?
The problem as I see it, is that Islamic law applies only to Muslims – as Jewish law applies to Jews and religious Christian law applies to religious Christians. And I will stick my neck out here and guess that Westergaard is not a Muslim.
Religious fundamentalists of all stripes tend to believe that the rules by which their particular sect lives are best for everyone, and that the world would be a better place if everyone obeyed them. Most of them likely believe God wants everyone to follow them and they may even believe God will punish those who don’t.
But, with the exception of the Islamo-fascists, few others take it upon themselves to force the issue."
