Furor Over Cartoons Pits Muslim Against Muslim - New York Times

Now the question is: why was Jihad Momani, a jailed Jordanian journalist for the paper, Shihan, brave enough to show the Mohammed cartoons and write about them, but the American media behaves like a bunch of cowards? You'd think that he'd risk offending slightly more Muslims than we would. Money quote:
Mr. Momani expressed exasperation when asked why he printed the cartoons. He insisted that it was the work of journalists to inform, and that he did so after speaking to many people who were outraged without ever seeing the cartoons.

Would our journalists be so brave.
