My opinion:
I think the first printing was no big deal - as they said there is freedom of the press.
I think *some* of the reprintings were done with an "in your face" attitide.
I do have a problem that in some of the countries, where the protesting was the most loudly expressed, cartoons that are even *more* insulting (by my opinion - I hate to give examples because some of them really are vile) of *other* religions and people are freely printed.
They weren't printed by anyone over here, either. I had to do a google search and find them on a European web site. I wanted, just for my own knowledge, to know if they would have been unsulting if "joe blow" had been depicted.
