In Jordan, an independent tabloid, al-Shihan, reprinted three of the cartoons on Thursday, saying people should know what they were protesting about.

In a separate article, the newspaper’s editor, Jihad Momani, urged the world’s Muslims to "be reasonable" in their response to the drawings.

The paper’s publishers sacked him hours later over the "shock" he had caused, Jordan’s official Petra news agency reported.

Has he been sacked for asking people to be reasonable?

and this bit:

There has been widespread anger over the cartoons among Muslim nations and communities.

Why? Why are they angry about "cartoons"? Is ity because they perceive them as blasphemous? What’s wrong with blasphemy? Is their relgion so fragile that it should be defended against cartoons? If so, it’s not a very substantial religion then.

Boris Johnson summed it up well:

Conservative MP Boris Johnson told the BBC the Muslim religion should not be treated with kid gloves.

He said: "If you are a Muslim and your faith is strong and you believe in God and in your prophet then I don’t think you should be remotely frightened of what some ludicrous infidel says or does about your religion or any depiction he produces.

Grow up children!
