this article that sums it well:"Has Jyllands-Posten insulted and disrespected Islam? It certainly
didn't intend to. But what does respect mean? When I visit a mosque, I
show my respect by taking off my shoes. I follow the customs, just as I
do in a church, synagogue or other holy place. But if a believer demands
that I, as a nonbeliever, observe his taboos in the public domain, he is
not asking for my respect, but for my submission. And that is
incompatible with a secular democracy."http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...021702499.html

What he failed to take into account is that Muslims have no sense of
humor... and I wonder about some of the folks on this list?
