According to the Islam it is blasphemous to make images of the prophet.
So . . . . this isn't about whether or not the cartoons are even satire or that they are hate-mongering . . . . it's just about making an image?
Anyone in the world making an image?
Write a letter to the editor if you don't like it.
As far as the diplomatic protestations are concerned, that's just another clear example of why religion should be kept separate from government.

I think it is blasphemous to make images of Mohammed because it might lead to idolatry. This has been a big problem in religions and was even warned against in the bible. So what do the Catholics do but make icons of Jesus and Mary and worship them. Moslems have gone to the other extreme, probably due to the politics of his time. Times change but religions have a hard time adapting.
