The new battleground of terrorism

I HAVE just seen the now notorious Danish cartoons with their less than flattering images of the prophet Mohammed.

I am more than surprised at the deferential and half-apologetic stance western media and commentators have been adopting towards the fundamentalist backlash from large sections of Islam.

Can it be that the cartoons have not been seen by the commentators in question? That might explain their eagerness to dissociate themselves from the Danish lampooners.
