THE BEST SUMMARY OF WHAT HAPPENED TO CAUSE RIOTING AFTER THE 12 CATROONS WERE PUBLISHED (BUT YOU WON'T FIND THIS IN THE VIRGINIAN PILOT)

FROM CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS:

The Traveling Imams

CQ reader Peter A in Denmark sends a translation of a new Jyllands-Posten article that delves into the origins of the Cartoon Wars that have raged around the world for the past two weeks. The true reasons for the manufactured outrage turn out to have more connection to other Danish actions than just the cartoons. The proper context shows that the Muslims in Denmark and elsewhere have much more of an agenda than simply protecting the Prophet from satire and their religious sensibilities from criticism. Be sure to read it all.

Read the whole thing. It ends:

So it isn't just a case of a few supposedly inflammatory cartoons appearing in Jyllands-Posten that set this off. This has been a deliberate provocation by Danish Muslims to inflame Islam against Denmark specifically and the West in general -- and it would have happened eventually even without the cartoons.
