I think the West lost an opportunity to be the "bigger man" here. Instead of overreacting just like the Muslims did, they should have just brushed it off and even embracing it as free speech.
I looked at the description of the cartoon and didn't really get what the fuss was about. And besides, it's just the opinion of a cartoonist.

ummm... one of us is surely missing the point. How many Jewish people have you seen marching the streets demandin the artists are beheaded?
To say "this is a ridiculous and offensive stunt" is both truthful and reasonable. To call and actively threaten death to anyone involved... now that would be crazy.
