That, to me, would be a greater insult by far. As a Christian, I cringe when sacred religious symbols, concepts and names are defamed with contempt (at least you all don't have the name of your prophet being used as a curse on TV daily). But, sadly, responses like the JPA are just what anti-Muslim media need to 'prove' there is no hope for progress in this region. Now this shell game idea about covering up the Arab charter worked with me. I missed the whole thing, so will have to go see now. Hope I haven't insulted anyone.
