Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* here's a panel report from I believe George Washington University about a panel organized by Marc Singer that included KAL and Mohammed Nor Khalid. I like the quote from Kallaugher about how imagery is a challenge to the vanity of the person depicted.

* this article is about the author's take on German reluctance to confront Iran on nuclear issues, but the compelling idea for readers of this blog may be that there were limits to the boycotts that absolved certain countries not based on their support or lack of support for insulting Muhammed, but how deep and full the business connections are between those countries. This is the first article I've seen that suggested something like that, although God knows I looked.

* this may only be fascinating to me, but one outcome of the Danish Cartoons Controversy was that it caused business leaders in certain Muslim-dominated countries to note industries in which they were dependent on the West and decide to foster homegrown versions of those industries. One such: insulin production.
