[Back in July 2001 (pre 9/11), *South Park* portrayed Muhammad in its cartoon](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super%5FBest%5FFriends?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Why no hubbub back then? *South Park* was surely much more widely broadcast that those Danish cartoons. What's going on? Were Muslims in the Middle East wholly unaware of *South Park's* portrayal, so a firestorm of protest didn't even get started? Are the Muslims going backwards in their Westernization? Are they just more sensitive now to all things non-Muslim, since they know we tend to view them as barbarians due to 9/11? Is it all Bush's fault for invading Iraq? Are these Danish cartoon riots orchestrated for reasons other than true outrage? Are the Danish/European Muslims more militant?

I'm not trying to be flippant or lazy here by asking a question and not answering it. I honestly don't know. The best I could is hazard a guess, and y'all can do that as well as I.
