More cartoon madness. What does a Hindu sailor in the UAE have to do with cartoons in Denmark? Unless, of course, the whole thing is a pretext to jump-start the global jihad. From [1] PTI, with thanks to Satinder:

Dubai, Feb 15 (PTI) An Indian sailor was allegedly beaten to death by his colleagues on board a Norwegian oil tanker in the international waters off the coast of Fujairah in the UAE following an argument over the cartoon row.

A fight ensued among the seamen after an argument over the cartoon issue, causing the death of one sailor, a media report said.

Official sources confirmed the death of 31-year-old Sudheer Nonia Jagannathan, hailing from Mumbai, but refused to comment on the issue.
