How react to criticisms ?
Professor emeritus Etienne Vermeersch, morality philosopher at the university in Ghent, made a remarkable comment in “Ter Zake” (a popular comment program on the Flemish television) of February 6th last concerning the controversial cartoons about the prophet Mohammed. He said that during the last 30 years he himself had attacked repeatedly and heavily the Catholic Church and Christianity. According to his own saying he never got another response to his attacks than “We will pray for you”. Now he pronounced himself concerning these cartoons, he got many of the most appalling reactions from the Islamic population among which serious threats. Apparently the response of the Christians has made quite a good impression on the man who has profiled himself as an anti-Christian.
