Cartoons again, mightier than the sword
Of course, the hard-line Islamists who make up a small but vocal minority of Germany's Muslim population reacted the way mouth-foaming religious thugs are wont to do, and attempted violent attacks on Pro-NRW rallies where the cartoons were on display. Several police officers who were in the mobs' way have been injured.
Which, of course, highlights Pro-NRW's point -- Islam, at least of the true-believing sort, is violent, barbaric, hostile to free expression, and ill-suited to fit in with a modern pluralistic free society.
[My favorite cartoon from the contest is above. The banner reads "No mosque." The dynamite-wielding Islamist is saying, "Pardon, have you got a light?" The Bible-clutching priest is replying, "Naturally, my son!" You can see more of the cartoons here, though I don't endorse the site.]
