Wikipedia DOES have some uses after all --

A larger version of the page from the Jyllands-posten, with explanations and translations of all the cartoons here.

Some are funnier than others. I like the police lineup in the middle.

My personal favorite is the one with the black band across the eyes of .... is that an imam or Mohammed? Can’t tell with the black band ;-)

Amusing story. When this controversy first erupted a few years ago, I printed out the following graphic and gave it to my pastor after Sunday liturgy while the congregation gathers to enjoy refreshments. Some of the children asked him about the picture. He stooped down, showed them the picture and gave the explanation in Lebanese which I do not understand. If a picture is worth a thousand words, some verbal expressions are universal. As the children stared at the cartoon, Father bantered on in Lebanese, paused, then said: "Ka-boom!" That, I understood perfectly :-)
