Easter is an excellent day for mocking Christian beliefs, but I do not advocate mockery of all Christians. In fact, I&#039;ll go so far as to suggest that the majority of Christians should not be mocked at all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MR, I&#039;m proud of you for speaking up and giving a different perspective on this from another Muslim viewpoint. Thanks for your link.

It&#039;s worth noting that the Muslim associations in Britain have denounced this teddy bear incident and called for the teacher to be released. Just as we have a tendency to overlook liberal and moderate Christian viewpoints on hot button issues in the U.S., we probably do the same about moderate, Westernized Islam.

It&#039;s difficult, because it&#039;s always the fundamentalists who are yelling the loudest (or in this case, marching around with swords!) and whose positions are most polarizing and as such they dominate the news.]]></description>
