True enough, and to many non-Muslims the recent teddy-bear naming 
incident in Sudan was way over the top, and it has taken centuries for 
Christian countries to get over the point where blasphemy was considered 
a serious sin.  I really don't support political correctness, Muslim or 
otherwise.

I'm sure that there are some people who would say that the only reason 
why you couldn't show Blair's testicles is that he didn't have any. :-)
