Cartoon update

"Some Muslim voices of reason have arisen in the midst of all the violent reaction to the offensive cartoons. But not before rioting led to the deaths of people. Still, the moderates might signal that change is possible.

Lebanon's prime minister called for calm. Some Lebanese students spoke out against the rioting. A group Muslims in Denmark have apologised for the violence. In Iraq, Sistani decried the cartoons but did not call for protests, according to the Associated Press, which said "He referred to "misguided and oppressive" segments of the Muslim community and said their actions "projected a distorted and dark image of the faith of justice, love and brotherhood." And, on the Web, Muslim Wake-Up reminds fellow Muslims that the Prophet endured many insults but never reacted to the provocations.

Unfortunately, the rioters appear to be unfamiliar with the Prophet's lifestyle. Because the madness continues: The Iranian newspaper Hamshahri announced a contest for the best Holocaust cartoon.
And the Times of London reports that the Danish cartoonists have gone into hiding out of fear for their lives."
