Someone claimed that 3 of the 12 cartoons were faked- -by those very clerics you refer to. They were reportedly among the worst, of course. Why do i get the sense of that this fear of democracy, modernization and some secularization has its roots not so much for its insult to Mohammed or Islam , but as a threat to the tradition of seated powers that be , whos very status is undone should people come upon the right to self determination ? Because this is a classic strategy of dictators? And oh yes , these "moderate voices" we hear so much about ? Silences are deafening.... Silences are deafening. I think they had best rethink this one though. This is already starting to get the Western nations to form a united front. That could be quite fatal for that caste system of Caliphs , Mullahs and Madrassas, Monarchs and Royals.
