Second that. I also agree that it points out one of Islam's fundamental (pun intended) flaws. The people rioting believe that it's their duty to suppress any infidel attempt to marginalize their religion. I also assume they believe theirs is the only one true religion.
The Danes reacted OK by not apologizing for the cartoons (although they did apologize for the general "offending Muslims"), but IMO the rioters should have been dealt with more harshly. Quashing radical religious riots with equal violence is the only effective strategy IMO. And that applies to any religious-based violence, although Islam seems to have a lock on that ATM.
