Dept. of I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry

Arab activists are hopping mad -- literally! -- over a Danish cartoon that they say insults Islam. This morning, on the ever-helpful NPR, I heard the cartoon itself described for the first time: it depicts the prophet Mohammed wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb.

Okay, that's both offensive and funny. But the real satire-is-dead moment came when the protesters were joined by the infamous suicide bombing group al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
