Cartoons

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei thinks it's a Zionist conspiracy that the European dailies published the now infamous caricatures of Prophet Mohamed.

Meanwhile- I don't really think it's a Muslim filled with righteous anger thing. I don't even think it's a religion thing. I think it's a Mullah or cleric thing, and it's a theocratic means of coercion. In theocracies, as in any other political or socio-economic system, the means of coercion are enforced by methods that are determined by the nature of the system- for example- democratic coercion involves manipulation of the free will and choice which democracy is based on, autocratic coercion involves military protection of the leader and the system, which autocracies are based upon.

Theocracies, where the system is integrally linked to the religion of the system, coercive elements are presented in the form of religious right. In essence- we're not dealing with a Mullah leading his faithful Muslim parish in a protest of an outrage against Islam. This is about a War Lord using starving people- starving for food, starving for answers and starving for truth using Islam deceptively as a reason to rally the crowds, and thus perpetuate their power over the community.
