WorldNetDaily.com has pictures of the cartoons. One has a Islamist gatekeeper to Islamist Heaven who is greeting passed on suicide bombers and is saying something like: "Stop! Please tell them to stop we are out of virgins"
I personally don't understand the reaction since these cartoons were published in the West where any religion or politic is up for becoming a source for political cartoons.
It is terrible, imo, that rigid fundamentalist Islamists are up in arms issuing death threats and burning down bldgs related to Danish, French and German citizens.
Denmark has officially warned its citizens to stay away from Lebanon. I think that it is hypocritical in the West to be controlled by the rabid reaction of crazy fundaMENTAList Islamists for fear of their reactions to these cartoons.
If people can make parodies out of religious figures that are Christians they can do so regarding Islamist leaders. I understand America not publishing them only because of the fact that it would possibly make things worse for our soldiers over there.
I have to say that people who blow themselves up killing busloads of children and think they get scores of virgins is pretty screwed up and cultish. The cult of Islam (not all Islamists- but those believing in a current call to jihad) is begging for cartoons such as these.
