I'll tell you what the Pope vs. Islam thing reminds me of - the thing between siblings. The elder sis: pontificating, berating, high-minded, triumphalistic; the younger sis: brooding, petulant, agressive and dangerously tantrum-prone. I was nearly done with this huge piece on "Courage vs. Caution. When do you speak your mind?" worthy of publication in The Economist. Then i realised this: Big sis-small sis. Tant piss. And I should know.
(And i think Madeline's article in The Guardian was narrow. And might just publish my piece)

But we can still have a great debate on this over soda at koshy's ok?
