Damned if they do, and damned if they don't.
If they eased up on the more inflammatory content, it would look as if they were kowtowing to terrorism.
If they go ahead and print, they put themselves, their workers, distributors and commercial partners in the line of fire.
It's a tough call.
Personally, I think what they are doing is both brave/laudable and reckless/stupid in equal measure.
However, I don't think I would be shouting for them to print cartoons of the prophet, because there are other ways they can stick two fingers up (as many of the excellent satirists have been doing since last week).
It's way too easy to support this move when none of us are personally putting our lives, or the lives of our family, friends and loved ones at risk.
