I suggest you go count! And also have a look on which side of the fence the victims were from!

I never thought to consider which 'side of the fence' the victims were from. A life is a life.

No, it's actually just a cartoon. Period. The fact most people find it offensive doesn't make it any less a cartoon.
But threats are real, whether there is an intention to carry them out or not.

What about it? He has a right to free speech (just as you have a right to demonstrate); his motivation is irrelevant.

So you think the Muslim world are idiots for protesting against "just" a cartoon?

Was any part of my "as you have a right to demonstrate" in my previous post unclear?
You have a RIGHT to protest.
The cartoonist has a RIGHT to draw cartoons.
My view of either isn't relevant.

I think all avenues of protest by Muslims have been exhausted bar killing a couple of Danes and launching an attack on Danish soil.
Funny thing happened yesterday. I was watching a protest against the Muhammad cartoons in Cape Town where 20 000 Muslims pitched up and one of the main speakers was ordering that the Danes apologise- they had done so weeks before.

So everyone has their rights, gathered. Anything else you want to add?

Not at the moment, but I'm sure someone will post something to comment on presently.
