With all the rioting the Danish cartoons of Muhammad have caused, it's a small wonder that so few people have actually seen those cartoons. Even after reading the AP stories and the incessant cable news coverage, do Americans even know how silly Muhammad looks drawn as a bomb?

A small town California newspaper thinks something needs to be done about it, so they've gone and published 'em — hurting the feelings of Muslims, be damned!

The editor of the Freedom Communications Inc. paper, Don Holland, explains in a column today, "I'm sure most Americans are curious about this controversial cartoon, which depicts the Muslim prophet Mohammed with a bomb in his turban.

"The mindless violence by Islamic radicals is par for the course. But what is incredible is that the Associated Press, which distributes news stories and photos from across the globe, has decided that you shouldn't see it."

And with a circulation of just 31,000, we're pretty sure Don Holland doesn't want you to see the cartoons either.
