I don't doubt that they expected some Moslems to be offended. There are
about 100,000 Moslems there, and some of them may actually have seen the
cartoons in question. I don't think that they would have expected the furor
to that arose, or that it would become an issue across the entire Moslem
world.

Good for you. I bought a case of Tubourg beer. It is one of my favourites
anyway.

And I would suggest that Moslems spend more time trying to present a better
image to the West instead of using this issue to vent their frustration.
