i agree with the
more sober voices calling for
restraint in insulting the religions of others.

at the same time, the threats and violence
and threats OF violence from the Muslim world
amount to a "Protection Racket".

clearly the Islamic world
has a serious PR/Public Image problem.

as i understand it,
the most offensive Danish cartoon
was the one in which Mohammed was depicted
as having a lit bomb in his turban.

regardless of its intent as an offense or "incitement",
it was exactly what a good political cartoon should be:

a graphic encapsulation of current events.

the interesting thing
about the cartoon posted in this thread:

Mohammed has no part in it.

the commentary is in regard to Iranians(a nationality)
and alludes to a form of threat(suicide bombing)
that the current Iranian gov't both condones and sponsors.

as such it hits the
political cartoon target again:

a graphic encapsulation of current events.
