I am not sure what point this was trying to make, but I think I agree with it!

This animated cartoon was broadcasted at the end of the special item of this evening: a debate about the cartoon controversy. The cartoon starts with the word "gevoelig", which means sensitive, touchy in Dutch. It shows a muslim being hit with bricks representing the horrible deeds done in Algeria, Iraq, Darfur, and on 9/11. It doesn't move him. Then suddenly a paper with a drawing of Mohammed falls gently on his head. Folly madness is the result.

My 7 year old was with me when I opened this. His comment was really funny; he said:

"Dad, what does this mean? If too many bricks fall on your head then a paper you spit out fire???"

So innocent yet so telling !
