Danish cartoon sparked fanatic's plot to kill Aussies

This article is an example of the misunderstanding of what drives Muslims to commit violent Jihad against the West. The Danish cartoons are often cited as the reason for the violent reaction of Muslims. However, that is incorrect. The cartoons, and many other innocuous incidents are merely excuses masking the root cause which is the Quran and the most basic tenet of Islam to dominate all of humanity. To think that cartoons or other "insults" are the cause of violence allows the root cause to go unchallenged.
