What about Dogma, the movie? Sure there were some murmurings from catholics, but not violent protests. Noone wanted anyone beheaded. Noone dressed up as suicide bombers. Noone felt the need to burn anything down. Noone felt the need to attack countries that had nothing to do with the movie. Noone used their free speech to condemn, err, free speech.

And how about this? http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...&postcount=391

Noone's reported it. No death threats (that I know of) to Gareth, and I very much doubt he ever will. Christians, among other people are laughing with it.

Yep and purposely running cartoons satirising it is asking for trouble. (Well asking for more trouble)
Not that Iran needs much excuse... Notice how they decide to retailiate against Jews, and not Christians, who make up 95% of Denmark (excluding the 3% Catholics).

Still, I bet no Jews will be asking for people to be beheaded, commiting arson, etc.
