If you'll permit one last post about the cartoon dustup
This is the best editorial on the subject I've read thus far:

http://www.prospect.org/web/page.ww?section=root&name=ViewWeb&articleId=11117

Snip:

" If the West stands for civility and tolerance, and the West fears that radical Islamists would undermine Enlightenment values with fanaticism, we need to be truer to our own professed values. One such value is free speech, but other Enlightenment values are civility and free rational inquiry. The West has to be careful lest it destroy what it most cherishes in the course of asserting western values against those who threaten them."
