Why the Danish Cartoons were Published

Fleming Rose, editor of the Danish Jyllands Posten, pens an article today in the WaPo explaining why he published the Islamic cartoons that have drawn so much attention. Rose explains that he was attempting to push back on the self-imposed limits on freedom of expression in regards to Islam. Sadly, he may have had the reverse effect. In Rose's own words, we seem to be submitting to Islam rather than simply respecting it.
