Yes I live in Denmark and have followed the debate here since it began on September 30, 2005 as well as the increasingly racist remarks made by the political party which supports the present government. "What does that have to do with anything ?" If right wing media wants to denigrate particular groups then they have to face the consequences. In some cases these consequences are legal, in others boycotts, and in still others demonstrations. There seems to be a general agreement that the cartoons were the drop that caused the glass overflow. "There are bombings of churches , murder and torture and outrageous barbarous acts committed every week in the name of Allah . But you would have us stand mute on the subject ?" Of course not. A cartoon of Mohammed with a ticking bomb in his turban is not a productive comment on the arab world's hypocrisy. It only serves to satisfy those who believe that Islam is evil or want to convince others that this is the case. "There are many barbs and jabs being levied at fundamentalist Christianity everyday" Yes, and these barbs do not create an atmosphere of polite debate between christian fundamentalists and main stream politicians.
