Yes, prosecuting one action and not prosecuting an identical one as long as the perp claims it is art is certainly a double standard. But not the same double standard CR was talking about: the claim that it's okay to piss all over Christianity, but Islam is some sort of "protected" religion as far as the left is concerned.

Absolute crap, at least as far as this lefty is concerned. I hold Christianity and Islam in equal measures of suspicion, and in fact I probably fear the influence of Islam even more than that of Christianity.

At any rate, I'm tired of the old "we Christians are so downtrodden" song and dance. You guys have been pretty much in charge of the most powerful country in the world for the better part of the last decade, and all you did was screw everything up. Quit trying to play the victims. It just sounds whiny.
