Quote of the Week
"But what I do not understand is the logic that leads some Muslims to try and make non-Muslims abide by the precepts of Islam, it's a bit silly. Today we start by forbidding them to draw things about Islam, and tomorrow what? Will they forbid them to eat ham? To each his own religion, and things will be square." --
the cartoonist Ali Dilem, whose own situation is perhaps even more fascinating.
