Some had a unfortunate misunderstanding, some were culpably ignorant and some were out and out malicious. The heroes of the story are B 16 himself, the sister who forgave her assassin(s), and the Christian minority who braced themselves for the violence that, thank God, was not as bad as it was over the Danish cartoons.
