I have often said

that cartoons are among the highest form of art. Apparently that's not all they are:

After the Danish Cartoon Controversy

As often happens in these sorts of cases, the highly offended "religious leaders" turn out to be shameless, self-promoting hucksters. Public indignation over manufactured controversies usually has a short shelf life. You wonder at what will happen when the "muslim street" suddenly realizes their promised virgins in paradise turn out to be yet another case of snake oil sold by charlatans.
