The cartoon crisis between Europe and Muslim countries has shown that there's a vast gap between the West and Muslim countries in the way they understand each other.
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen didn't deal the crisis from the very beginning for many reasons. He wasn't able to understand the impact of the cartoons on the Muslim world. He had no idea of the agenda and how the cartoons could be used by Middle Eastern countries. His advisers didn't warn him that the European Union could face a very difficult time after the election of Hamas on the one hand and the Iran file on the other. And that if this crisis wasn't handled in a proper way, it could spread to all the other EU member states. "
