It's probably for the best that U.S. newspapers not publish these cartoons. Publishing them would not accomplish anything worthwhile, and certainly not benefit the national interest.

I don't like radical Islamists anymore than anyone else on FR. But there's no point in inflaming them unnecessarily, particularly when there's so little to be gained from it.

No one is inflaming Moslems ~ they've always been that way.

What they are attempting is to force their belief off on you. Amazingly, or maybe not so amazingly, you turn out to be an easy target.

How about showing solidarity so that the Danes aren't out there manning the ramparts of free speech alone?

Yes, but television companies can air stuff like Britney Spear's Cruci-fixins role. Christians get angry and threaten to boycott, and we get vilified. But Muslims don't even need to threaten violence (it is just somehow feared or expected), and they get respect. Hypocrisy.

LOL! Man, you had me going for a moment there. I almost believed that your post was serious, but then I realized you were joking.

What a card!
