To add to the Last Post

I've heard that even though the media in the US has talked about this Islam Cartoon Controversy, they haven't been showing the actual cartoon. Well here it is.
-
* In France, Raymond Lakah, a French-Egyptian who is the owner of France-Soir, one of the French dailies that decided to publish the cartoons in solidarity with the Danish newspaper which first published them, fired Publication Director Jacques Lefranc. Employees at the paper are now revolting and are demanding that he’d be reinstated.
French publications “Le Nouvel Observateur“, the “Courrier International” and “Charlie-Hebdo” have all decided to publish the cartoons. The “Liberation” daily will have 6 pages dedicated to the subject, with some of the drawings. All French television stations, except musical channel M6, showed them.
CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS News and NBC News, the Washington Post, the Washington Times or the New York Times on the other hand, nothing!
Meanwhile, Palestinian gunmen shut down the European Union’s office in Gaza City, demanded an apology from the European Union and threatened to kidnap European workers.
So it's all crazy over here with all the Muslims angry and all the French angry.. and now alot of places have already gone on strike. Also here's another cartoon.... I thought it was funny

* Written by editor Jihad Momeni, a former Jordanian senator who has since been fired from the paper, the editorial asked:
“Who offends Islam more? A foreigner who endeavors to draw the prophet as described by his followers in the world, or a Muslim with an explosive belt who commits suicide in a wedding party in Amman or elsewhere.”
