The cartoons were nothing to do with religious hating - what they made light of is the hypocrisy. As you have one set of 'real' muslims saying all westerners are kufir etc and can be attacked to be rewarded with 40 virgins, and another set of 'real' muslims saying, suicide is against islam etc.

The cartoons come out, and people were more angry about the cartoons than the actual reason why the cartoons got published in the first place.

Have all muslims that complain about them actually seen them?
