Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* a lot of what follows is a bit of a stretch, but I wanted somewhere to note that Mullah Dadullah, a Taliban commander who made international news in the Winter of 2006 by putting a bounty on the head of Danish soldiers because of the Muhammed cartoons, was recently killed.

* this article is pretty typical of those that claim the Danish Cartoons controversy has had an effect on criminal litigation involving non-visual commentary that chooses to engage Muhammed or other keystones of Islam.

* also, there may have been ripples at the UN.

* this peace-loving Imam saw that period as a test.

* this article could be seen as an attempt to marry the Muslim immigration element of the Danish Cartoons controversy with the growth of manga's influence worldwide into an unstoppable super-story killing any and all that stand against it, but it's really just a more traditionally conservative piece about the uniqueness of Western values through art, with a couple of comics-related asides.

* of course, if you were really looking for a heady feature article stew, you could compare 2006's riots and violence to fast-zombie attacks.
