the person who drew the cartoon may have been antagonistic douche, he may have been using it to show a layer of foreign society through humor.
the person whose putting it in a book and selling it is in it for cash. are they antagonist, lets say yes. at their worst that's all they are, antagonistic idiots. at best normal people doing what they do to get by. i know at the end of the day i'd much sooner have an antagonist wanker than a bomb wearing islamist or a threatening moron who can't or wont distinguish the difference between arrogant humour and physical death threats. it all seems one sided. we can't do this, we can't do that, if we burnt islamic flags, threw islamic tourist in jail or pulled some of the stunts some of them pull , i'd think a cartoon was beyound mild and downright namby pamby.
lets not forget that these countries who allow these cartoons also allow people to follow their own religion (don't mention the 9/11 fiasco please) while the countries who don't allow the cartoons. are often the opposite. (in general)
here in the west when some idot says lets burn the koran there's uproar.
if an islamic leader in the middle east said lets burn the bible. they'd be dancing in the streets round the fire. i personally think we have to put it in perspective.
