I just read the news today and read up about the riots in Indonesia, Turkey and Pakistan caused by the drawing.
Dare I say it, but Erwin does have a point. Isn't the Islamic community simply fueling the (hopelessly misguided) view that they all want to go around killing everyone in the Western world when they start publically burning flags, carrying guns to the embassy or issuing death threats?

I'm really sorry to hear about the riots, but they are just going to show how badly those people are overreacting .
