"I have had T-shirts made with the cartoons that have upset Islam and I will start wearing them today," Ansa quoted Calderoli as saying.
ROME (Reuters) - Italy's Reform Minister Roberto Calderoli has had T-shirts made emblazoned with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a move that could embarrass Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government. Calderoli, a member of the anti-immigrant Northern League party, told Ansa news agency on Tuesday that the West had to stand up against Islamist extremists and offered to hand out T-shirts to anyone who wanted them.

Racist cartoons: Why Muslims have a right to be angryThe Danish government's defence of the publication by a Danish newspaper of caricatures of the prophet Mohammed, including one with the 7th century Arab religious leader wearing a turban with a bomb attached to it, has provoked widespread protests by justifiably angry Muslims around the world.

In their own words: the politics behind the anti-Muslim cartoons
Common to the statements of virtually all of the pundits and politicians who have come to the defense of the Danish government and Jyllands-Posten in the controversy over the newspapers publication of anti-Muslim cartoons is a refusal to consider the political context which gave rise to these ugly and offensive caricatures.

The Political Uses of Free Speech I empathize with those baffled by the rapidly spiraling controversy around the series of cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammad.
The cartoons were first published in the Danish paper, Jyllands-Posten, nearly five months ago, in September. The initial protest was limited to Denmarks Muslim minority but was brushed off by both government and civil society. This is when some of the ultra- conservative Danish imams took matters into their own hands and set off for Saudi Arabia and Egypt, with a dossier containing the inflammatory cartoons. Last week came the diplomatic explosion: Saudi Arabia recalled its ambassador in Denmark and Libya shut its embassy. There followed the boycott of Danish goods, demonstrations, strikes, flag-burning, and now fires set to embassies in Damascus and Beirut.

Muslim outrage was consciously instigated by Rose and his neocon
friends Let me tell you a few things about blasphemy. Been there, done it. Got expelled from high school for it.
That was a few decades ago, and for those seeking titillation, Ill give you the details at the end of this screed. First I have to tell you about a massive propaganda coup. Youve been had by some of the most bigoted people in the world -- and Im not talking about Muslim fundamentalists.

Cartoons, Voltaire, and the Non-Clash of Civilisations Muslims in their millions across the globe have shown the world that there are things worth fighting for, other than oil and reconstruction contracts.
Who said politics was boring, as Mark Warner the former Governor of Virginia said recently that politics was not a battle between right and left, or between conservative and liberal but between the past and the future. In the battle of ideas around the cartoons controversy, the Muslims are advocating the future whereas the west remains wedded to the past.

Blasphemous Cartoons: An Opportunity for Unity, Activism, and Protest
for Muslim Americans Only U.S. Muslims as a community (200 protested in Philadelphia) have not launched a large protest against these cartoons. We continue with deft diplomacy that will have no bearing or impact upon the national intellect or psyche shaped by media portrayals and islamophobes. We all know this nation thrives and is spoon fed by politicians who are in turn spoon fed by activists and lobbyists, in particular the Pro-Israel lobby, who in turn use the media to turn up the heat.
