Searle, I managed to find a website with the cartoons which includes an english translation. Most of the toons appear to be mildly irreverent caricatures of Mohammed. I suppose the 'meanest' of them is the toon of Mohammed with the bomb in his turban humaneventsonline.com Sorry, but in my lifetime I've seen some pretty sarcastic and nasty attacks on people and groups, but these toons seem rather tame to me. In any case, under no circumstances do I see anything here that justifies violence in the name of religion. I'm certain there are a majority of moderate Muslims that must be appalled by the violence associated with these images, and quite frankly, it says something very negative about those who are engaging in violence and arson; and particularly those who attempt to justify it. They should be ashamed of themselves. Doubt this not. Books will be written about the over-reaction of Iran alone. And this is all because of a tiny insignificant and irreverent newspaper in one very small corner of the world. One more thing. You made the comment The "cartoons" were not just a bit of innocent and tasteless fun as, for example, when Prince Harry put on an SS uniform to go to a fancy dress party Errrr, excuse me. But, I don't recall Jews all over the world burning down British embassies, rioting, or demanding boycotts. There were Jewish people who rightfully believed it was bad taste and said so. They didn't resort to violence.
