So ummm, where was all the fuss when Evans was fired?  Fired, btw, without any international spotlight or boycott threats or ambassadorial visits, on the basis of the kind of local protest and upset that the Danes ignored for months from their Islamic residents.

I personally don't like the Evans toons either.  imho they were crudely drawn, leaning lazily on anti-semitic stereotypes -- again conflating an anti-semitic emotional buzz with his legitimate (imho) criticism of Israeli policy and the Occupation.  But not much worse or better than the 'Mohammetoons' to my eye, so where was the worldwide rallying to his defence, or the taking-up of his toons by a dozen papers in hot defence of sacred free speech and Enlightenment/democratic values?  The debate over Evans' firing was limited to NZ, I believe, and his only defenders appear to have been unsavory white supremacist types.

The difference between theory and practise in practise ...
