I’m disgusted by the reaction in some Middle Eastern countries to the cartoon that was printed in a Danish newspaper. Granted, the cartoon was in poor taste. But that doesn’t excuse attacks on Danish embassies and consulates. The reaction is infantile. That’s the only word I can think of to describe it – infantile. We don’t like it, so we’re going to resort to violence, because violence is so much easier than putting together a coherent argument. And since we feel anger, we’re going to act on it – forget about having a filter between emotions and actions. Never mind actually thinking about what you’re doing.
Infantile.
