I too suffer from a growing concern for our hypocritical behavior in the tolerance of a select subculture of religious zealots accompanied by a consistent suppression of true moderates within the same realm. Islamism, the ideology of political islam, is spreading worldwide faster than any other current theocratic, intolerant and hate-fueled ideology, and while we in the west worked tirelessly to suppress earlier fundamentalist religious movements, we saddle those working towards the identification and response to a very real threat to our secular social model with the responsibility of skirting political correctness in order to make their point publicly available, a catch-22 which only empowers Theocratic encroachment upon secular, democratic principals.
As long as we pull cartoons from newspapers and limit freedom of expression selectively, and specifically in the name of Islam (compare the National Endowment of the Arts recognition of Serrano's 'Piss Christ' to the refusal of the American media's to publish Danish newspaper cartoons in solidarity with their Danish counterparts support of freedom of expression.. if you need an example of this) we are doing the work of Theocratic dictators and zealots to the very real detriment of our own beliefs and ideologies.
