link to NY Times article: A European newspaper cartoon which "include[s] a drawing of the prophet [Muhammad] who founded Islam wearing a turban shaped like a bomb" are angering Palestineans...
"We are angry — very, very, very angry" a female member of Hamas and the Parliament said. Saudi Arabia and Syria have recalled their ambassadors to Denmark and the Danish government is summoning its foreign envoys to talks over the issue.
Is this progress or just overreacting? It's good these groups are talking, but isn't a cartoon sometimes just a cartoon?

Thank you for your reply. There is far too little respect our between cultures and I am glad you took the time to respond to my question.
In Islam we're not even allowed to draw pictures of the Prophet peace be upon him.
We dont draw pictures of Jesus or Moses, we respect all the prophets.
We love our prophet peace be upon him.
