I was reading BBC News about the violent protests in Beirut and Damascus regarding a cartoon published in a Danish newspaper, depcting Mohammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban, and found this quote in the feedback section.
I find the violence shown by the Muslim protestors to be far more offensive than a cartoon could ever be. A cartoon is a drawing on a piece of paper. Slogans demanding people be beheaded in revenge and setting fire to buildings is outrageous. It seems to me that the Muslim protestors are behaving in a way that was satirised by the cartoon. — Lesley Morgan, Coventry, UK
