Well, you know we have moved our server from the US to Germany, and a German paper published the cartoon ... guilt by association and all that. Remember a Palestinian mob descended on the EU building in Gaza (or West Bank?) waving Kalashnikovs.
In fact it's come a little closer to home now. Apparently some BBC TV news bulletins showed it (albeit briefly) last night, prompting a demo by about 60 masked Al Mujahiroon nutters at the front gates of TV Centre. It's odd that they have totally failed to grasp that by kicking up such a furore, they have made the cartoon a news item in its own right. Left alone, it would never have amounted to anything more than the editorial opinion of a Danish newspaper. Now it's a global news story, of course it's going to start appearing elsewhere.
I predict it will have been in more than one UK newspaper before next Monday morning.
