The most important thing is not whether the cartoons are in the book or not (they are easy to find on the web). The important thing is that some of them are clearly racist. Mohammend with a lighted bomb in his turban (ho, ho an arab whose head is about to explode, ha ha!) is obviously racist. Both because it is considered humorous that his head explode, as well as for the more widely discussed reason that muslims in general are identified in the cartoon with terrorists.

The cartoons are in fact remarkably similar to cartoons of Jews in the twenties.
