Cartoons criticize. Someone doesn't like the criticism so they pick up a gun and decide outside any daily norms they have the power to end the criticism. Really?

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Two men (click here) suspected of helping the gunman behind the deadly attacks in Copenhagen were jailed for 10 days Monday as Danes mourned the victims of a shooting spree that authorities said may have been inspired by last month's terror attacks in Paris.
They were accused of helping the gunman evade authorities and get rid of a weapon during the manhunt that ended early Sunday when the attacker was killed in a shootout with police, said Michael Juul Eriksen, the defense attorney for one of the two suspects....
Europe doesn't have an ocean between north Africa and the Middle East as the USA does. It is easy to be in the USA and criticize cartoonists. What if those cartoonists bring out the fears of Europe so their leaders pay attention to those fears?
Beneath all this talk about inappropriate cartoons is the fact extremist deliberately misinterpret the message and convert it to violence. That is the problem here. That is the problem in north Africa and the Middle East. ISIS justifies their violence based in the fact SOMEONE needs to defend Islam. Excuse me? No one is defending Islam? No leader in the world stands up for Islam and it's practice in a peaceful method? I didn't know the last Mosque in the world was destroyed; I thought that was reserved for Buddhist statues.
Evidently, in the face of defending humanity cartoonists are the real soldiers and defend the right to exhibit the fact the faith has been so distorted by extremists it causes fear and misinterpretation in the world.
But, forbid the guns are removed from the extremists grip, the cartoonists are to quake in fear so deep it undermines democracy and free speech. Who is the real problem here? The cartoonist? Of the extremists?
No one was paying such close attention to Charlie Hebdo that it had a global circulation to create war. This is nonsense.
