Well, it seems as if out of all of this there has been a more and clear polarizing of different thoughts within the Muslim communities in many places in Europe as Metatone wrote in his article about Islam.  The moderate Muslims have come out on the non-violent side and although offended by the cartoons they have seen the necessity to distance themselves from violence and violent behaviour.    This polarizing has also happened in the Western world on international politics between the Bush-supporters on one side and liberals on the other side opposing the Bushco foreign policy of active use of military forces as a tool in foreign policy a thing of the past one believed until it surfaced again with the Bush administration.  

According to the biggest newspaper in Norway, Aftenposten (in English), The umbrella organization for Islamic groups in Norway, The Islamic Council, has agreed to help the Norwegian government calm down a diplomatic crisis over offensive cartoons by contacting Muslim leaders and scholars and Arab media.  In Denmark it has been a split between the militants and the moderates over this issue to. As someone said in a thread here once, this is not a clash of civilisations at all, but rather a clash of extremist views.
