Cartoon conspiracy

Firstly I like this quote (here:
"Who offends Islam more? A foreigner who draws the Prophet as described by his followers, or a Muslim with an explosive belt who commits suicide in Amman or anywhere else," the editorial said.

Secondly do you think there is another motivation for all this? There is still negotiations for Turkeys membership into the EU mostly because of it's size poverty and religion. But the religion is a big issue in Europe which already has a problem with it's muslim population. The cartoon shows the tension between the two societies. Plenty of Blasphemous Christian and Jewish stuff is published in Europe with no attention, but these simple cartoons have inflamed the muslims (nothing wrong with being angry and annoyed) to the point where they are uttering death threats and violating trade laws (the WTO is set to step in and take action against the Danish boycott). This is a strong argument for those who do not want Turkey in the EU but more importantly it's a strong public perception campaign in the EU since moderates and level headed muslims like the [former] editor quoted above are tossed aside for the wailing death threats. Not a good PR campaign for Turkey.

So a planned conspiracy, doubtful. But taking advantage of a situation maybe. If I was retired I could go through all the papers that repubished the cartoons and see there editorials on Turkeys memebership...
