'The bomb in the turban," as many Frenchmen are calling this explosion after the most controversial of the Danish cartoons, has blown up in everybody's face here in the country with the largest Muslim population in Europe.
...
On Iran, after years of playing the good cop to America's tough cop, Europe supported Iran's recent referral to the UN Security Council. Damascus was still hurting from the French role in driving Syria out of Lebanon, and in Afghanistan, European troops were moving into new areas under the authority of NATO, which helped take the pressure off the thinly-stretched American military.
This was not coincidental, according to Roy. Yet manipulated or not, the affair of the cartoons shows that the alienation between East and West has never been more intens.
