Cartoon Controversy

A post at Muslim Wakeup! argues that over-reaction to the Danish editorial cartoons has drawn attention away from issues of substance for Muslims and notes:

Muslims seem to forget that just because they are prohibited from representing the prophet in any way, this does not apply to everybody else.

It seems odd that the controversy is peaking now, several months after the pics were printed. What will the reaction be when an Islamic pop band becomes really famous and claims that they're "bigger than the Prophet"? Watch for it.
