The cartoon of the Imam with the bomb in his turban was published well over a year or more ago and e-mailed around the world no one did anything but laugh. Now the ground swell of indignation from Muslims and the inevitable pandering to the childish whininess from politicians like Jack Straw and Barbara Boxer. The Muslims started this conflict some ten years ago and when the going gets tough they squeal like the pigs they are and demand all bow to their views or perish. Tyrants and radicals have always used this recipe to create disorder, a true tempest in a tea pot.
If a cartoon can upset these vile militants it tells you one thing AND IT IS THIS:
Yep, you're right...these cartoons were published a while ago, but since their subsequent circulation this has become a circus of religious fanaticism and political posturing...but the tragedy is that it is a life-taking, terror spreading circus. The sooner it's stopped, the better.
