Speaking at a conference on Isalmic extremism that was organized by the American Jewish Congress, Ernst Uhrlau, head of Germany's BND (foreign intelligence agency) said, there may be irreconcilable differences between Islamic and Western cultures. "The recent controversy over Mohammad cartoons has raised the question of compatibility in principle between basic elements of Western and Muslim standards of culture. In this case, freedom of the press versus religious values. "The fact is that such antagonism may emerge time and again in sensitive areas of identity on either side."
I believe he is absolutely right and the recent incident in Afghanistan is just another example. "The Koran is very clear and the words of our prophet are very clear. There can only be one outcome: death,"says cleric Khoja Ahmad Sediqi, who is also a member of that country's Supreme Court. At least 50 people have been killed in protests in the Middle East and Asia over a cartoon of this prophet.
The cleric is also correct, it's very clear and it's getting harder and harder to avoid the obvious.
