Apparently we aren't the only country dealing with public outrage over malicious cartoons.

Muslims are outraged, leveling bomb threats, death threats, and destroying everything around them (this week) because a Dutch paper ran a cartoon depicting Muhammod (which is already a violation of Islamic law) with a bomb for a turbin.

The European world is standing side by side with the Dutch paper, defending their right to free speech and one German paper even said this:

"We would take their protests more seriously if they weren't so hypocritical. The Imams were completely quiet when Al Jazeera depicted Jews as cannibals eating their young last year."
