Muslim logic

Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten published last Friday reproductions of the Mohammed cartoons by Kurt Westergaard, after a crazed Muslim tried to assassinate him last week.

Tehran's response shows the bizarre Muslim logic of who is to blame for violent behavior. In the words of Iran's Foreign Minister:
