This is exactly what I've been talking about, the reason closer attention needs to be paid to precisely what is printed. I don't think it would've taken a brilliant political strategist to figure out, hmmmm, if we print something that would offend Muslims, and even if Western governments condemn the printing, there's a good chance the existing anti-Western sentiment will only increase.

Then again, our own media has done a lot to add to Islamic anti-American sentiment. I.E. the flushing of the Koran down the toilet... Abu Ghraib... the U.S. Marine that shot an injured insurgent. The factuality of most of those articles or stories surrounding those issues are debatable. Yes... torture did happen in Abu Grhraib... but some sources of media aired or published some stories to make the U.S. military look like the Nazi SS.
