Re: Should they be published in the UK?

Well in the case of the two Jordanian editors who did print the cartoons in Muslim papers in Jordan who were arrested I think we might have the reason why some moderate Muslim voices are not being heard across the world.

However I note that

Quote:
Lebanon's interior minister has quit after protesters sacked Beirut's Danish embassy in more ructions over cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad.

So some moderates are being counted..

I also thought that this article might make the confusion about WHY there is such confusion as to how the cartoons are offensive, a little clearer
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/mid...st/4678220.stm

At least in this country the numbers involved in protesting have been low and non violent(apart from the placard carriers and flag burners).I think the moderates on both sides are holding firm and not getting involved too much beyond condemning the violence and not insisting that we MUST see these cartoons.
