Could it be, oh perhaps, because in Arab countries the government controls the papers and they can't conceive of any other system? Unlike here where the government only controls the Washington Times and Fox "News"... I still don’t get the part where governments have to apologize because a newspaper did something.

Denmark publishes twelve cartoons of Mohammed with the sole reason to incite hatred and to offend. This hapens after a political party there calls Islam a terrorist organization and compares Immigrants to a cancer. 2. Muslims take offense, protest to Denmark. The Danish government first doesn't react and refuses to met with officials from about a dozen countries from the middle-east. Muslims go away unhappy. 3. Five months later, other Newspapers find the cartoons and start publishing them all over the place. 4. Western governments and media outlets refuse to discuss the racial and discriminating nature of the cartoons. Instead they cite freedom of press and ignore local legislature against hate-speech against religions in most european countries. The media - driven by extremists on both sides - escalates the whole thing into a "war of civilizations" in their headlines, further fueling the "fear of Islam". 5. An Iran newspaper decides to hold a contest and publish the “best” of Holocaust cartoons to prove that the West has a double standard, presumably because Holocaust denial is against the law in some Western nations. 1.

There are those who say that the newspapers should not have published the original cartoons because they were childishly insulting, just as they should not publish the same type of cartoons about us, or the president, or anyone else, <strong>because</strong> they are childishly insulting. Some of them are like the cartoon that WaPo published about the quadruple amputee.

Two more have been mullah-made to whip up hatred. These protests have similarly been manufactured. Let's not lose sight of that. chsw There were 10 cartoons published in Denmark this past September.
