I agree, but Paul has noted only one cartoon. I had said that the
cartoons were not funny, but that was too broad a judgment since I think
two or three are. I suspect, however, that the commotion centers around
a few particular cartoons, especially the one I noted of Mohammad with a
bomb on his head. There is nothing redeeming about that cartoon. It
exists only to provoke outrage. Shame on the cartoonist and shame on a
culture that justifies it.
