Cartoon Row 1

Okay, so the wannabe theocrats are rioting throughout the Middle East over these cartoons which were published in a Danish newspaper. Apparently, they want Denmark to take some responsibility here, and curtail that pesky free press. Apologies have been made. Danish products have been boycotted in countries that don't buy Danish goods anyway. Delegates from a number of nations have appealed to Denmark to hold someone accountable. Etc. One would hope that they never watch South Park...
Seven newspapers throughout Europe have run the cartoons to show solidarity and support for a beleaguered comrade as well as for free speech in general. And so have a number of bloggers who support free speech, even if it offends...
