I think it would be in everyone's interrest to find out who's behind this, and see what can be done about it. There were also cartoons involved that weren't published by the Danish newspaper, so clearly someone has been fabricating stuff to raise tensions even more.

Perhaps that's why the Jordanian newspaper published them too, so Muslims could see what they were protesting against.
I heard about alternative cartoons being used too, but had no linkies or other evidence that this was the case - does anyone have anything more concrete?
As for someone working behind the scenes...I guess it's possible, but I'm inclined to think that they're easily enough enflamed that this wouldn't be necessary.
