In what world do you live in? Can you give one example when the violent learned that violence isn't going to work?
What you overlook is that the violent (and the culture warriors in the West, and the far-right in the West) also fight for domestic popularity and recruits, and the cartoons culture war gave them that in droves. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.

Third planet out from the Sun. And you?

Yeah, this dude down the street, let me see where I have his telephone number. Come on, this is silly.

Give me some credit of intelligence, huh? How could I "overlook" that?
As I have said repeatedly, I don't approve of the original publication. However, given that it occurred and was whipped into a global campaign for editorial and diplomatic apologies as well as censorship, and where threats of violence abound against the newspapers and even countries involved, the solidarity is called for. Sure, deescalate whereever possible; sometimes it isn't. "If you pay the Dane-geld," an old saying goes, "you never get rid of the Dane."
That said, there are two sides to this republication question; my position is all-things-considered. Unlike the issue of whether freedom of speech is negotiable. The world's northernmost desert wind.
