Something other than music

Two posts in one day!

To make up for an entire month without a peep, here's another, but as the headline sez, this one's not about music. The entire uproar over the Danish cartoons of Muhammad has been both fascinating and horrifying. Someone passed along this clip from Monday's Newshour with Jim Lehrer, featuring two Arabic scholars debating the root of the problem, one blaming Muslims in Europe for not understanding the complexity of liberalism, the other insisting the source is really a more sustained and layered system of disrespect and hypocrisy from the US and its European allies. Seems to me the truth is probably somewhere in between. You can either watch the clip or read the transcript at the Electric Intifada website.
