Mohammed cartoons published in New Zealand

You may have heard by now about the controversial cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed that were publish in a Danish newspaper. Apparently Muslims around the world are very upset about this as they do not like images of their prophet in any form, especially ones depicting him as a terrorist. However, because this has become quite a big news story around the world, The Dominion Post newspaper in New Zealand is going to publish the cartoons (see http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/newsdetail1.asp?storyID=89102)

And while we're on the subject of religious groups being offended, the Catholic church wants an episode of South Park banned which is about a bleeding statue of Mary (see http://www.nzherald.co.nz/organisation/story.cfm?o_id=409&ObjectID=10364195)

GET OVER IT!!! Any type of group in the world, whether it be religious, political, or whatever is going to be made fun of at some stage. My church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), is made fun of all the time. For example South Park mentions Mormons often. An episode I watched on C4 the other night featured our first prophet, Joseph Smith (season seven episode "All About the Mormons"). Some of what they talked about was accurate, and some wasn't, but I got a good laugh out of it!

People are going to make fun of your religion and even put it down. But if you believe in your religion, if you believe that it is true and it make you happy, then that's all that matters.
