The Danish cartoonists are illustrators; they are given assignments by clients who pay them for their work. The Danish Muhammad cartoons are broadly — and wrongly — described as political cartoons by pundits and politicians who don't understand the difference between one kind of cartoonist and another.
The perception of the Danish Muhammad cartoons as "political cartoons" is chilling to real political cartoonists who are suddenly perceived as ticking time bombs that can explode at any time. Editors, who were already uncomfortable reining in their unwieldy, bomb-throwing cartoonists, are now more timid than ever.
Thanks to Muslims.
