CARTOON CRAZIES
What do the rioting crowds of Muslims upset with the cartoons lampooning Mohammed and Islam have in common with the cartoonists and newspapers which run these things? They are all out of their minds. German journalist/theologian Uwe Siemon-Netto compares the crowds to those stirred up by the Nazis. Dangerous -- not just for the Northern Europeans responsible for the caricatures -- but for the whole world.

So why would anyone want to feed that frenzy -- even if they are within their legal rights to publish such parodies?

Ordinary people who have lost their minds are playing with fire on a dry windy afternoon.
