Well, after a vast output over the last few days I thought I'd take it easy today. The "Cartoon Controversy" still rages, much to the amazement of all sane individuals. As I was surfing my usual sites this morning I came across this article which explained how it all began. His explanation seems to leave out where one of the most controversial images came from (from the Muslim perspective, not from mine) of the prophet in a turban shaped like a bomb, but it's still a very big surprise as to where they originated...

Yea,
That's why people on the our extreame right are saying the "War on Terror" is a war of cultures, the West vs Islamofascism. Interesting reading, www.warfooting.com. Some insprired arguments and some paranoid delusions, still scary if they guess right. The EMP danger he talks about reminds me the opening for "Dark Angel" the short lived Jessica Alba sci-fi series.
Update,
I finally saw the 12 cartoons that were actually printed in the Danish news paper. I think the more "offensive" cartoons were actually manufactured by the imans, I heard this on NPR.
