What Muslims Think of the Danish Muhammed Cartoon DealAt Spiegel Online we had a chat with Al-Jazeera's cartoonist, Shujaat Ali. Notice how "censorship" is a virtue for him; restraint belongs to his religion, and the boycotts, he says, only show what happens when artists show no restraint. The boycotts are good, in his opinion. The violent reactions are not good, but also not significant -- "marginal."
Over here, for more context, is my piece on Muslim fundamentalists in Indonesia -- their ideas about democracy and sharia law -- from a visit to Majelis Mujahidin in 2004.
