I think the point the person was trying to make is that the cartoons are more about
confronting/daring Muslims rather than needing the cartoon to illustrate a message.
The only message is "Hey Muslims, right in your face, now what can you do about it".
It's like a fat chip on the shoulder with taunting and it reeks of arrogance.
The cartoonist doing the Muhammad cartoons are fighting for their right to be pricks.
That's not a right I care to die for or subject other people to danger over.
Given the well documented attacks because of "Blasphemous Cartoons";
doing the cartoons in defiance without regard for collateral damage to innocent others is
a selfish act of bravado.
