In an interesting development in the Middle East some sober-minded journalists, and others, have questioned the outrage about those cartoons said to offend Muslims.
"In a direct challenge to the international uproar over cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammad, the Jordanian journalist Jihad Momani wrote: "What brings more prejudice against Islam, these caricatures or pictures of a hostage-taker slashing the throat of his victim in front of the cameras, or a suicide bomber who blows himself up during a wedding ceremony?"

The question raised is, of course, a valid one. Whether it resonates with Muslims everywhere, generally, is another!
