Sandmonkey blogged The Syndicate of Egyptian cartoonists decided that they would respond to the danish cartoons by making their own cartoons on what happend.
This is a MUCH better way to respond; it certainly beats death threats and burning embassies.
A cartoon showing Islam as a flower being waterd by an angel, and when the evil people (note the "jewish nose"; egyptians in cartoons and books always protray jews with croocked noses) tried to step on the hose, it sprayed blood all over them. There is a Koranic verse on the bottom that looosely translates to "They tried to plot against Islam so we made them lose/fail".
A pig drawing the cartoon while saying saracsticly: "What is it? What's wrong? You never heard of something called Freedom of Expression? Hahahahahahaha". Please note the star of david hanging on the wall behind him.
I don't really see much humor in these cartoons, but then I did not see much humor in the Danish ones. However this is a much more civilized way to respond.

I don't like the humor either, but agree it is way more civilized than a riot!
