i came across this cartoon in the independent the other day in an article about where political cartoonists should draw the the line in the light of the danish cartoon thing thats going on. this one is by one of my favourite cartoonists- steve bell of the guardian. interesting his was about one he had done about brian souter and the clause 28 referendum he funded. i found the reference about the 'Nazarene Sect' really interesting where they talk about whether mr souter 'is a bigot' something they couldnt prove and the Nazarene's who you also 'can't prove anything against'. while i was looking on the internet to see if the cartoon was there so i didnt have to scan it i came across lots of other articles on brian souter and the Nazarene's. most of them explained the church as an evangelical fundamentalist church based in kansas city. nice to ahave such a positive portrayal in the press. oh yes the other comment was that he came from a church that sort to 'cure homosexuals'. not sure it's quite the church i recognise.

Yeah, this is pretty interesting, Steve. It's like Steve Bell was really trying hard to "prove" something against the Nazarenes but kept getting foiled.
I always find it rather amusing when people think that Nazarenes are sinister.
