Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* in a kind of King Kong vs. Godzilla face off of troubling-to-Muslims makers of speech, the cartoonist Kurt Westergaard has announced his intention to support a lawsuit filed on his behalf by the Danish Union of Journalists against Geert Wilders for the use of his bomb-in-turban Muhammed caricature in Wilders' new, apparently anti-Koran, short film called Fitna. The Westergaard caricature and the Wilders film have been exhibits 1 and 1a in recent complaints and protests by Muslims in various countries against instances of provocative speech in European countries.

* however, this article simply has Westergaard seeking advice on the matter.

* incidentally, Fitna has gone on-line.

* a call for moderation and dialog from King Abdullah is just Saudi Arabia being Saudi Arabia, some articles suggest.
