In addition, the cartoonist concerned - Jonathan Shapiro - is one whose anti-Zionist position has placed him in an unenviable position in the Jewish community. "He finds himself firmly in the camp of the Palestinians by highlighting the atrocities that have been committed at the hands of the Israeli state against Palestinians. As such, Zapiro enjoys enormous respect and support for his work (among Muslims)."

But I wonder whether JC readers agree with the following quote:
"No cartoon is as insulting to Islam as the assumption Muslims will react with violence."( Nic Dawes Mail and Guardian editor-in-chief)
