Re Comic Jihad: I take a bit different view on this whole episode so far. The radical Muslims may have started it as part of their war on civilization, but I do believe it is backfiring.

The radical Muslims have nearly universal support for their hatred and violence within large parts of the Muslim world. So, the Comic Jihad will do little but send their heathens howling in the streets and won’t change many Muslim minds.

However, the less radical liberals (if that is not an oxymoron; but remember Joe and Zell) may finally be forced to open their eyes and see the true face of the enemy. With the exception of the American MSM cowards hiding under their desks because angry Muslims do attack and kill people, many papers in the western world have stood solid with Denmark. Is it too optimistic to believe that Europe might awaken to the danger and act a little more responsibly? Unlike in the Muslim world, there may be a significant numbers of minds to changed here.

Lets hope this is so and that the Comic Jihad helps to unite western civilization against the enemy.

and they were published in denmark last SEPTEMBER. No boycott took place then and an apology was asked for.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in the Features also.
