I would have tried to draw a cartoon that wasn't trying to prove who was boss
Surely that's exactly what's required. Otherwise terrorists can run away with the impression that they can bring their will to bear by violent means. France isn't a Muslim state, it's a secular one, and that needs affirming.
You could argue that these cartoons are unnecessarily belligerent, but the French constitution allows for them none the less. You're not really going to get anywhere trying to appease people who won't rest until everybody converts to Islam.
Not that I'd encourage atheism being shoved down people's throats either - I'm with you on that.
