I’m on board with this reaction to the Koran-burning.

so…..

As much as I think that cartoonists should certainly have the right to draw whatever cartoons they want, and as much as I find it abhorrent that anyone would commit violence because their religious icons were negatively portrayed in a cartoon - I also hold at least some of the Danish cartoonists involved responsible for the violence that ensued because some of the cartoons were drawn to be deliberately provocative.

Is there some distinction between the Koran burning and the cartoons that I’m missing?
