Or....

I'm starting to wonder if even moderate Muslims might be subtly using the fear of Jihad to influence and shape things into going their way. Think about it: did anyone pull the funding of the guy who made "Piss Christ" for fear of Christian wrath? But show some photos of Muslim women in Burqas, with some cleavage showing, holding bras, or <gasp!> a bare leg and almost nipple, someone says "I, as a Muslim, am deeply offended" and the plug is pulled faster than you can issue a fatwa. Someone in the Muslim community in America needs to tke a stand and say "Our religion, like Christianity and Judaism is strong enough to stand up to criticism and ridicule. We must stop bullying people into removing anything that we disagre with, and instead educate and show ourselves as examples of what it means to be Muslim." American Muslims (like those of CAIR- Council on American-Islmac Relations) who continue to push to stifle the free expression of other Americans because they feel it's insulting or critical of Islam are risking incurring a national backlash against their religion. People will get tired of living in fear of voicing their opinions.
