But, says Ross Babbage, head of the defense think tank the Kokoda Foundation, "a problem is coming, and we can't afford to neglect...

But until a majority of Middle Eastern Muslims prioritizes freedom over religious dogma, the region cannot sustain stable democratic regimes. The protesters’ reaction to these cartoons certainly demonstrates that on the international stage a drawing so offensive cannot be printed without consequence.
