cant see em

Salam,

Thanks sister. Yes, Canada has public libraries, and I live very close to one of them. I will visit the library and get the book inshAllah.

Peace

times new roman i don't know if i have come to exactly the right place; but here goes.all of this news about how the political cartoons that show the prophet with a bomb: i havn't seen ant of them. i suppose that if there are any poiticians in the west that could be immune to any of these cartoons, they would jump at the chance.well it's not going to happen. when it comes to any religious personages, i don't remember political cartoons putting jesus down. [there have been a few, but not in the largest papers]. i don't see a problem with being polite. and being mindfull of the [religious] feelings of others. it never killed anyone to be polite. [with the exception of some emmisaries sent th kublai kahn, but there is no excuse for that either]. the conflicts in the world are not anything new, they have been very much the rule for thousands of years. however we cannot afford this any more. in the past, prople could have the worst war they wanted. there hasn't been any shortage of them. it is not the same now. the world is badly overpopulated now, and in a delicate state. the earth can only provide so much. the environmental crunch time is coming soon. if people cannot act as one for all of ov our common interests, millions of millions will die. this to me would be a great big waste of all of our struggles,for a good life. the earht; our mother,cannot recover from these things so easily any more. i have now got myself into all kinds of trouble with president bush. i'm not trying to commit treason or anything. you must know a lot of people have not liked these wars. if you don't mind the president looking over our shoulders, bring issues, i will see what i can say. i do not think there are any throw away groups of people in the world. it has to work for everyone. i'm sure it will take a lot of forebearance on the part of everyone. these things have never been easy for anyone. just look at history.

thank you i see i put it in the wrong category. i'm not very good with this machine.there WAS one cartoon depicting jesus that i remember. it was a long time ago [1969] in the los angeles free press, [the freep]. ot was a spoof of an old game show called "what's my line?". it showed three jesuses sitting behind a table. ine of them looked like the scraggely european with the crown of thorns, next was the beautific with a halo european jesus, last was a middle eastern man with an elbow on the desk and a smile. he looked semetic. the caption reads "will the real jesus please stand up" the celebrity panel was supposed to guess. the author was ron cobb.the freep was the left wing radical poltical tabloid. i was told that it later degenerated into a porn rag. now if i can figure out how to transfer this without typing it over, i'm new at this.i don't even type well
