Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* I didn't follow the writer through to her conclusions, but the first several graphs in this piece are a great catch-up in terms of the head-butting of Lars Wilks Tuesday during an on-campus presentation where he showed pieces of a film about Islam and homosexuality. Wilks is the artist sometimes called a cartoonist whose 2007 doodle of Muhammed on the head of a dog built on/commented upon/existed in the same general realm as the 2005 Jyllands-Posten cartoons.

* the men leading the assault were subsequently released.

* the next day, Wilks' web site was hacked. And then he was asked not to return to the university where he was attacked.

* a lot of sympathy was generated for Wilks.
