great cartoon. The whole Pope/Islam episode shows again the massive hypocrisy inherent in all religions. Both christianity and islam have "evil and inhuman" histories and are a cause for many of the worlds conflicts. We need to remember what the Enlightenment was about, i.e. the rejection of a religious world view which was replaced by one of reason and logic and scientific enquiry. It is only because of this that the human race has advanced to its present situation. Without it we'd still all be living in the dark ages (no need to mention here that some parts of the world still are !). Only through ridiculing into irrelevance those who hold these fairy-tale beliefs will the world be a safer, saner place ! Amen :-)
