Fisk:Don't be fooled, this isn't an issue of Islam versus secularism

For those out there who do not have a log into the UK Independent site, ICH have reprinted it here:
For many Muslims, the "Islamic" reaction to this affair is an embarrassment. There is good reason to believe that Muslims would like to see some element of reform introduced to their religion. If this cartoon had advanced the cause of those who want to debate this issue, no-one would have minded. But it was clearly intended to be provocative. It was so outrageous that it only caused reaction.
