The quote of the day, from Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, on the 12 Danish cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Mohammed:

Unfortunately, people in the Muslim world feel that this is a new 9/11 against themselves.

Hmmm...flying planes into buildings...publishing cartoons. Yep, that’s about the same.

Update: The Pub Philosopher writes:

Of course, he is right. In the 9/11 attacks, Muslim fanatics killed people and in the Cartoon Wars, Muslim fanatics killed people. Somehow though, I don’t think that’s what he meant.
