Danish Cartoons Part of British Anti-Muslim Leaflet Campaign

This is the first time I've seen the famed Muhammed cartoon caricatures mentioned as having a secondary life as politically-charged speech beyond their initial publication in Jyllands-Posten last year and their subsequent, much-debated appearances in way too few sources of journalism around the world as protests and boycotts became severe in the first few months of this year. Whether or not this is an important development is a question I would think answered by the news hook of the article in which this mention appears.

This blunt editorial exhortation about the new television documentary dealing with the cartoons and everything that followed mentions that 10 of 12 of the original cartoonists have never come out of hiding.
