There may not be a conspiracy but it is certainly an issue as it is one more channel of reinforcing anti-American/anti-Western sentiment. In the same manner I would find misleading and harmful images/statements of Islam/Muslims in America to be an issue and counterproductive.
As for the influence of cartoons in the Islamic world? There is a certain Danish cartoonist who would probably disagree with you along with many others. Do not underestimate the power of cartoons.

i mentioned the word silly in agreeance with baraka - post 2 or 3. it had nothing to do with me saying that this thread was silly.
and yes, its not just silly, its quite stupid to even think that its ok to kill mickey. Mickey is NOT alive..mickey has NEVER been alive! heck, mickey is about as non existant as santa (sorry to spoil it guys). you cant kill a figment of your imagination. so for Al Munajjid to claim thats it ok to kill mickey, must mean that he's not in connection with reality.
with regards to the danish cartoons - this is in no way has any connection with the danish cartoons. the danish cartoons were political. this is more 'theological' or maybe even 'psychological'!
i still think that the MICKEY cartoon is a non issue. political cartoons are a different story.
baraka - i'd defend mickey to the death. you in?
