I'm not sure if they should be apologizing - but a number have. Maybe western populations and media should hold out and wait for apologies from Muslim media over the huge number of incredibly disturbing lampoons we see of various Christian and Jewish issues, stuff that has been going on for 50 years.
All those apologies have been ignored. Don't say that apologies haven't been offered. Its categorically untrue.

Perhaps I wasn't clear. Those who published the cartoons did not apologize. The person who drew them, I do not believe apologized. I don't think governments should have to apologize either. If the person who drew the cartoons might have just said, 'I'm sorry, I did not realize that it would cause such offense,' this may not have happened at all.
