Kharpert - You betray a lack of understanding of a very fundemental precipt of Islam - that neither God nor the prophet's image is ever depicted. These cartoons were specifically designed to incite this type of reaction. To Muslims this is blasphemy of the highest order - of course they are upset - and rightly so. Western leaders should be doing more to ease this situation through apologies and denouncements. While I would not advocate any censorship - I would - as a government or a group etc - distance myself and express disaproval and condemnation.
Folks here talk about all sorts of consipiracies (using the most flimsy and unconnected "evidence") - but what I see here suggests that there are forces on both sides who wish to push things to the brink - the extremists prosper and retain great infulence when the other side is easily deamonized and shown to be fanatically anti itself. her is but another example. I have long predicted that the Arab-Isreali conflict would only be resolved AFTER a nuke goes up in Tel Aviv. At this point perhaps the moderates - who have been so meek to allow their fanatics to run the show and manipulate everyone - will finally step up and say enough is enough - we need peace - too many have died...
