There is no such thing as bad publicity as far as the arts are concerned. The best way to protest is by doing nothing at all, the more you get worked up over a piece of art the more interest you create in that art, there is however bad publicity in religion. By boycotting, protesting anything that may offend ones religion only creates this bad publicity and therefore only incites a lower level of tolerance for that religion on a world stage. I am not ignorant of the fact that Qatar is a muslim country but it does nothing for qatar if they choose the road of boycotting Danish products because of a satirical cartoon. I know this cartoon has offended many just as cartoons of the pope, jesus and god offend the crhistians. the point as i stated earlier the cartoon was only reprinted due to the outcry over it and the demand by none muslims to see it again so to judge for themselves why it would create such a stir. The trouble with Islam is the bad press so more bad press over a stupid silly cartoon wont help your cause.
