More info on the three extra 'cartoons'
This picture is from a French Pig-Squealing Champions contest back in August 2005.
The AP reported it as such and their reporter took this picture
"Yohann and Olivier Roussel's performance climaxed in a cacophony of oinks and grunts, unleashing an explosion of applause.
But it was only after lengthy jury deliberations that their hopes were confirmed ? the father-and-son team were France's official Pig-Squealing Champions for 2005." (read more)

This innocent picture is transformed into a supposedly 'drawing' that is part of the three extra cartoons by darkening the image. You can view that transformation here and it contains both an Arabic script at the bottom and probably a Danish language at the top as a title.
I need someone that read Arabic to translate what the inscription reads and also one Danish speaker. Prepare to get offended but this is a really ugly situation without any clean solutions.
To put things on perspective, the 12 cartoons alone is enough to offend. What we need to figure out is why the group feel the need to include three extras.
UPDATE (Tom G) - A timeline of this whole sorry circus, showing the different reactions/comments etc from different players involved, beginning in October '05, just a few days after the cartoons were published.
These 3 "extra" cartoons sure are stupid and nasty, but this idea of a "delayed reaction" caused by them doesnt seem to pan out. If anything, a lot of these problems were caused by Egypt's idiot Foreign Minister, who has been hammering on about them for months and months.............

Of the 12 cartoons, the only one that could even be remotely offensive was the cartoon of the prophet with the dynamite fuse in his turban. The rest were mild. the other cartoons were mostly fabrications. I'm irritated at the stupidity of these religios fanatics and imams who are spreading this anti-European propaganda. I'm going to show my support to the Dutch by buying a case of Carlsberg.

In Arabic, the text says "that's the true picture of Mohammed"... The one with the dog says "for that muslims pray"
this story is unbelievable, if it's true then they really reahed their goal... the world is on fire because of such a ridiculous act !!!!!!

What we are seeing here yet another example of the majority being silenced.
The burning down of embassies by a few people manage to taint the rest.
