NATIONS IN DEEP SLEEP: CARTOONS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN REAL LIFE


Because of this cartoon, millions demonstrated from Morocco to Indonesia. Embassies were stormed, diplomatic relations cut, products boycotted and several demonstrators killed. A sense of outrage prevailed in the Muslim and Arab worlds.


When two Palestinian women murdered by Israel in Beit Hanoon and many other wounded were shown in live T.V. broadcasts, the reaction of the Arab and Muslim worlds was.....a yawn.
