What was the reaction of the major churches to the Danish cartoons?

At the very least I recall some of them saying that the problem was in fact... blasphemy. That fit well with the generalized Western reaction which was to not print the images the news story was about, then also bend over backwards to throw THOSE nuts a bone and claim that sensitivity trumps freedom of expression.

Not something I'd do (one holy book being pretty much the same as any other to me—If I really needed to start a fire badly and I had to burn books, I's start with the religious stuff ), but it doesn't really get my knickers in a bunch.
