That is the most convoluted argument I've ever heard. You might be offended by what they said, but you're not, but you could be, so it's as bad as the Mohamed cartoons? Forgive me for being totally confused by this train of thought.

Why have none of the other cartoons/satires/parodies of Islam provoked this kind of response? You make it sound like this happens everyday all over the world. Jyllands-Posten knew that these cartoons would result in enormous outcry and they deliberately set out to provoke a response. Well, I guess they got what they wanted.
