The difference between Muslims and Christians ain't like coffee vs. tea...
I saw this amusing and interesting quote, from a site that reproduced an old newspaper article about the Beatles circa 1966.
...Lennon’s earlier remarks referencing Jesus [specifically, he said that the Beatles are "more popular than Jesus"] drew waves of criticism from Americans including some of the group’s fan base.
A similar response from local newspaper subscribers was inevitable. “The Christian right of Oak Harbor responded quite strongly,” Funk recalls. “One woman addressed a letter to City Hall saying, ‘Let Mr. Funk know I cancelled my subscription’.”
Compare that reaction to Muslims rioting all over the world and killing people over Mohammed t-shirts, not even a half century ago, but in the 21st freaking century.
