The Globe and Mail interviews Ahmed Akkari, the young Danish Islamic scholar who took some caricatures of the prophet Muhammad to the Middle East -- and inadvertently helped hell break loose.

I offer a bit of analysis.

Der Speigel talks with Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Dutch legislator forced into hiding after the murder of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh, about the cartoon crisis.

Antonia Zerbisias, media critic and blogger at the Toronto Star, took on the right-wing bloggers over the cartoon crisis in her treeware column on Tuesday.

It created some buzz, but I don't know if it's one of her better efforts.

If you read it, also take a look at my post on Canadian Journalist: The cartoons and the propaganda war.

I tried to highlight some evidence that suggests both the anti-Muslim European right and the Islamo-fascists are finding this little conflict working to both their advantages.
