What part of an apology for hurt feelings is so hard to understand?
Seriously, now Jyllands-Posten has clearly and unmistankely apologised that some muslims felt hurt by the cartoons. Read it here in Arabic and here in English.
Still the arab world is going absolutely bananas and not accepting an apology.
I wonder why?
Is it because the arab governements really find it quite convenient to get the frustration of the people channeled to someone else?
I mean it is a pretty good diversion from real problems like the lack of democracy, the lack of reform and the lack of freedoms in many arab countries.
Is it just a coincidence?
I mean following bad press like "Over 300 muslim pilgrims crushed to death" in Saudi Arabia it comes pretty convenient to get a story like the Mohammed cartoons to dominate the headlines. Pretty smart, no more critical questions.
But that's just what I think, what do you think?
