The Danish cartoons were published in September 2005. Why did it take five months for what Western media dubbed "instant reactions to the insult" to materialize? One hundred and fifty days and nights are too long for a mass reaction to be described as "instant."

I've wondered about that too!
Hmmmm.........

Leaders of the Muslim community in Denmark said they attempted to resolve the matter locally by asking the newspaper or the government to apologize for it.

We are sorry that you backward Muslim peoples were offended by comics. But would like to encourage you to join the modern world, or go back to your tents in the deserts, where you came from.

FYI
As usual they get it all wrong.

But the cartoon crisis has generated another type of reaction - a war against the West led by the Jihadists, claiming that a war against Islam has warranted their Jihad

May mohammad the prophet, be known far and wide for his true honest self.

oh but we can trust mohammad (that is something new I've learned recently), and last I heard mohammad isn't the enemy....all these new developments in the war on terror and me a tinman without a brain to understand.

He should get a hold of some old Koran's ... they have pictures of their prophet in it ....

Good analysis. Too bad the MSM seems incapable of similar rational thought.

"Islamists want to draw the limits of world freedoms, and Western liberals reject that limitation."

I think we should add that conservatives reject that limitation, too. In fact, the liberals seem to be prepared to swallow it, because with a few honorable exceptions most of them are spineless.

Only conservatives seem to be prepared to say that they refuse to let Muslim clerics dictate what they can say and do. Liberals, however, have shown that they are eager to retreat and to compromise.

Pakistan has a literacy rate of under 50%. Takes a while for the vermin to get the word.

""In my religion" said Imam abu Laban, leading Muslim cleric of Denmark, "drawing images of Prophet Muhammad is forbidden.""

Imam abu Laban Is a LIAR. Muslims have been drawing images of their sadistic prophet for ages.

So their agenda is something else. Any why are these Clerics who drew a few "extra' images, who then took them to Islamic countries to publish(notice no burning down of Arab media) and generate ariots, why are they not in prison, or have 'fatwa's on their heads?

Plus, muslims, so "sensitive about insulting religious figures, don't seem to have any problem trashing churches and insulting Jesus, who they LIE and say they respect. Of course our media has no problem publishing their lies, but they have a problem publishing the truth.
