I followed and looked at all 12 yesterday. It took a bit to find the cartoon, talk about self sensorship of the press. You had to go to a Danish link to find them.
Naturally not being Muslim I did not think the Danish cartoons warranted more than an hmmm. You could imagine what would happen if someone made a movie “The Life of Abdul” the parody of the “Life of Brian”.
Human nature is to cower when evil or adversity rears its ugly head. What happened to the average German in the 1930's and 40's. How many white southerners stood up against terrorism in this nation? We can not expect the average muslim to resist these facist elements. Look what happened to Simon Rushdie when he wrote "The Satanic Verses" in 1988. Basicly he wrote an allegory of Mohamed's recieving of the Koran in one section. He has to live underground as the Fatwa hitmen are looking for him. The average citizen is just killed as the police can not protect them. Some of the moderate clerics in Iraq have been liquidated.
