Caricaturing the Prophet
This uproar about caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed may seem more like news than history, but the issues -- whatever your position -- have a long background. I'll look for a good link on that background, but in the meantime, for detailed information on the recent events themselves, have a look at this fact file at Juan Cole's site, Informed Comment. His remarks on the scale, nature and motivation of the angry reactions are also worth a look.
