Whose freedom of expression do you value more? That of the Christians or of the Muslims?

“I value both, equally.”, you say.
Good, you’re a good American. Expect a long fight and lots of bloodshed that the Muslims will win in the end because they are the more aggressive of the two religions.

“I value the Christian view more than I value the Muslim view.”
Good, you’re a good American. You will have to muzzle the right of the Muslim religion because its view is in total opposition of Christian teachings.

“I place a higher value on the Muslim view.”, you say.
Good, you’re a good American. Tell your lovely wife to buy herself a sexy burqa.

Of course when you accept that idea that freedom of speech is related to religion you are accepting the Islamic view with respect to speech, as does Mr. Ferreri. Why do you do that?

What possible meaning can a cartoon in a magazine have when compared, for example, to the Bible? Does seeing a cartoon, however ugly, really matter? Does it weaken your faith?
