Something I put together because of the ridiculous cartoon scandal.

CHICAGO, Feb 12 (Reuters) - The violence linked to cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad is not unique to Islam, experts say, and the protests reflect political and cultural passions more than the faith's core values.

Looking for distinct features that would make Islam liable for the cartoon-related violence around the world does little to explain it, said the Rev. Patrick Gaffney, an anthropologist and expert on Islam at the University of Notre Dame.

"There are parallel behaviors in every tradition," he said. "Buddhism has a violent strain despite its pacifism ... You think about Hinduism and nonviolence but (Mohandas) Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu."

Please check out this site: http://drepank.blogspot.com . It has a lot of funny stuff on Slovenian, USA politics written in English language. The persons on the picture are Slovenian prime minister Janez Jansa (left) and the foreign minister (right). Please recommend this diary! It is good to know how people in Europe are looking at US politics & culture.
