There's a piece of graffiti outside my apartment in Seattle that looks a little bit like this: http://www.lataco.com/taco/wp-content/uploads/rsz_coexist.jpg

This isn't a piece of self-aggrandizing scribble, this says something to me.

When someone just uses some crazy font to mark their territory, even if there are are nice colors and great technique, I still just think that it's a way to pee on the wall.

While it's not right for someone to go vandalizing public property, at least have something to say when you do it, please.

Has anyone been to the Experience Music Project in Seattle? In the instruments room they have a giant table that's touch sensitive, and each part of the table has a different percussion sound to it. It's amazingly fun to play with. This reminds me of that.

"That said, this is entirely consistent with Islamic law..."

Hemi, I have to disagree with you there. The article states that he was sentenced to death for blasphemy, not for converting away from Islam. This means that the decision of whether or not he was blaspheming is the issue at hand, and would not be covered by clearly by sharia. The court would have to make an interpretation. It's not so cut and dry.
