The who, where and why of the cartoon riots

At Betsy’s Page she posts on an Amir Taheri column detailing how hateful groups of Muslim fundamentalist planned and instigated the cartoon riots the have led to arson and murders and a largely quivering American media response.

Betsy begins:

Amir Taheri reviews the chronology in the incitement to riot about the Danish cartoons. Just in case you were under the delusion that this was a naturally arising sense of outrage. It was planned and carefully scheduled so it would not interfere with Hamas' campaign to win the elections in the Palestinian authority.
There’s a lot more about the who, where and why of the planning. Read it all here.

Then take a look at this JinC post, Why they hate us.
