[extropy-chat] thought space map on cartoons

[Amara Graps]

>Ja, the question becomes who was doing the ugly provocation.

I would say the provocation was taking place on all sides: the Danish
extremist imams who whipped up the outrage (long after the original
publication of the cartoons) among the Muslims in the Middle East, the
western and muslim governments who each found support in one way or
another for each of their particular viewpoints, and the western
media, who were offended at possible limits on their free speech and
therefore poured salt in the existing wounds of the minority Muslims
in their countries.
