What is it all about?

The purpose of this blog is to find out whether the Muhammed cartoon incident is evidence of an emerging "War of Values" as the blog title indicates.

The current situation is blurred by mutual misunderstandings, regional opportunists taking advantage of the situation, lack of politeness from all parties combined with oversensitiveness to negative exposure. Any peaceful soul hopes that by clearing the misunderstandings, we'll return to a state of understanding, where the muslim and the western worlds co-exist peacefully side by side.

I fear that this is nothing but an illusion. Behind the current crisis lurks a much larger source of future conflicts. A fundamental battle between the values of the West and the values of the Muslims is emerging. This is not new to the muslim demonstrators on the streets these days, who display signs about WW3 and their readiness to die for the prophet. But to the west this is a wake-up-call.

Any comments are warmly welcome.
