That almost sounded like a threat... "...don't mess with the uber-sensitive muslims if you know what's good for you, cause they'll definitely fuck you up..."
Seriously, when did Islam get this holy right to be more sensitive than other religions about such trivial things? And why should European tradition of provocative caricature that's been going on for more than 300 years and with it the freedom of speach bow down to a bunch of religious fanatics? There's much more at stake here than just the right to publish a bunch of silly caricatures in a newspaper most Arabs haven't even heard of. It's about the right of expression. The right to an opinion without being persecuted or threatened for it. This reaction is probably the way Catolic Church would respond in the 15th century. The middle east has to wake the fuck up. The Islam would itself, has to wake the fuck up. These are not the middle ages. This is the 21st century. Adapt! We're all sharing the same planet.
