The Cartoon Jihad: putting the pieces of the puzzle together...

Here are the pieces to put together:

The fake cartoons being circulated in the middle east by Danish Imam Ahmad Abu Laban; the lack of riots when the actual cartoons were published months ago; and the fact that if the International Atomic Energy Agency reports Iran to the UN Security Council, and the Council gets around to considering what form of sanctions to impose on Iran, chairmanship of the Council will have passed to... Denmark.

In this MUST READ article by Melanie Phillips, "The Cartoon Jihad", she explains these facts and many more that piece together a larger picture that the MSN seems to be missing.

Victor Davis Hanson wonders if Europe is finally waking up.  I don't know, it's been a pretty deep sleep.

Suzanne Fields draws an interesting parallel.  She compares Hamas, the Palestinian group that has called for the wiping of Israel off the map, to another anti-Semitic figure: Hitler.

Jeff Jacoby points out the obvious: how come you don't see other religious organizations rioting in the streets when they're offended?  It always seems to just be radical Muslims.
