-I did not know what to think about the Danish cartoons much. First of
-all, when you look `at them`_, it is really hard to be sure whether the
-author meant them to be offensive at all. Second, well of course, I am
-too much reader of `The Voice of the Martyrs`_ to take seriously Islamic
-complaints about how Christians are disrespectful to their faith. I
-really shouldn’t dig into the reports of VoM about situation of
-Christians (and especially new converts to Christianity) in Pakistan or
-Saudi Arabia, should I? However, nothing of that seemed interesting
-enough to be written down and I didn’t have a time and urge to research
-this thoroughly. Meanwhile, all what I wanted to say was written in much
-better way and with true understanding of what’s going on by
-`HonestReporting.com`_. And, just one example—\ `Tom Gross’ selection of
-Arab Cartoons`_.
-
-However, `I know`_ that the reasons for many social actions do not lie
-in the rational causes, but in the symbolic struggle for status and
-support. So, it seems that Honest Reporting’s (which is really strange
-name) suggestion, that this case Islamic fundamentalist struggle to
-affirm their support lovely collaborated with their governments effort
-to find some other enemy than themselves. How lovely.
-
-Thanks Mark_ for pointing me to the Honest Reporting site.
-
-One off-topic comment. While looking at the `Tom Gross’ website`_ I
-found that it contains a lot of highly controversial and critical
-material. However, his articles on Roma_ sometimes get closer to the
-skin, than feels comfortable. I have never heard about `Milena
-Hubschmannová`_, which is shame and I just like `this picture`_.

-I have decided to publish here the one picture—the most controversial
-one, not because I would like to offend muslims, but because I really
-believe that this picture is actually quite interesting and it can be
-interpreted in many other ways than just the one selected by protesting
-Moslems and almost all Western print.
