Responsible Muslim leaders have already condemned the appalling placards. Those who start fires shouldn't complain about the smoke.

"Muslims have a right to live their lives without seeing their religion vilified in a way that is designed to cause hurt, anger and offence." No they don't. There is no right to an offence free world.
Muslims are murdering people in response to a CARTOON! There is a right to life in spite of drawings.
Catch a freaking clue.

He seems to be saying that because he doesn't take Christianity seriously then it's ok to mock it, but it's another total thing for someone to mock islam, because some muslims take it seriously. His perspective if wrong...he's including himself as a Christian when it seems clear that he is not.

Muslims who felt offended
By cartoons a Dane had rended
Said it is only right
That your cultures we fight
Until the entire world has been ended.

So I feel an instinctive sympathy for Muslims who still hold to the belief that there is such a thing as blasphemy. Yes, there is blasphemy...and we had all better INSIST upon our right to blaspheme. Anything you say might someday be counted as blasphemy by somebody.
And yes, that means somebody might stick a crucifix in a jar of urine from time to time. But that's the price of being able to say the name of some heathen god without having your head chopped off.

We worship our idols -celebrity and money, the sex lives of the rich and famous - but the Good Book is about as relevant to most of our lives as the ration book.
Quit projecting your own choices onto me you filthy Leftist.

Also, respect cuts both ways. How much respect is granted to Christians in Muslim countries?And to those Muslims who live in the West and claim not support the disrespectful treatment that Christianity and Judaism receives in those countries, how many are denouncing it as fervently as denounce these cartoons?

And if they want to burn down a few empty Scandinavian embassies in Syria because of crass depictions of the Prophet Mohammed, then personally I couldn't care less. It reminds me of some lines written just before the start of WWII from a German citizens point of view.
They took away the gypsies, but I did nothing for I was not a gypsy. They took away the homosexuals, but I did nothing for I was not a homosexual. They took away the Jews, but I did nothing for I was not a Jew. When they came for me, I cried out for help, but there was nobody left to help me.
The author should about that next time he says he could care less about some Muslim atrocity committed outside his neighborhood.

It's interesting that these cartoons have come out of Europe. On the whole we envision a Europe that is apologetic and disgustingly p.c. when it comes to anything but Christianity. The cartoons are a minor thing and the response has absolutely nothing to do with them. After spending a good deal of time in Europe, an underlying, suppressed racism is very clear. Europe will not let their countries be transformed into Islamic states. This short period of apathy won't last long. The history of militant Europe proves that.

"if they want to burn down a few empty Scandinavian embassies in Syria because of crass depictions of the Prophet Mohammed, then personally I couldn't care less." Correspondingly, I couldn't care less if they burned down your house. No bigee.

It is ironic that the public reactions to these cartoons, both in predominantly Musilim countries, and elsewhere, provide better evidence for the substance of the truths they depict than any of their defenders on "free speech" grounds could possibly bring forward.It's also ironic in how it exposes the, uh, "dual" nature of tolerance as understood by liberals. When someone offends Christians, it is the Christians who are intolerant. When someone offends Muslims, it is the offenders who are intolerant.

They aren't offended enough
Whoooops, watch that cartoon, the Islamists might be watching and spoiling for a reason to create chaos here...
To: Pokey78
MUSLIMS deserve the respect accorded to all our people. They take their religion infinitely more seriously than we do, and we should understand that.I don't respect anyone that physically harms people or property while 'rioting', no matter what the reason for the riot.
And I sure don't respect writers who think it perfectly acceptable for someone to do so.

Muslims have a right to live their lives without seeing their religion vilified in a way that is designed to cause hurt, anger and offence.No they don't. Especially after they use their religion as justification to act like barbarians. Their own words, actions and reactions have vilified themselves and their religion.
