They aren't offended enough

[SunStar]

MUSLIMS deserve the respect accorded to all our people. They take their religion infinitely more seriously than we do, and we should understand that. 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.

Wrong answer. You lose.

Well written....cuts to the chase.

Printing that cartoon was supremely stupid.

I disagree. It provoked a reaction that was supremely instructive.

[Cornpone]

As an American who descended from those who decided they didn't want a cabal in Europe telling them what is sacred, I reserve the right to believe that nothing is sacred until as an individual I decide so. So all the apoligists for the shortcomings of freedom, especially the Muslims, can kiss my royal Irish, Scottish, Danish, German, English, Egyptian bum.

So I feel an instinctive sympathy for Muslims

All we needed to know.

[elmer fudd]

Just another apologist.

[detsaoT]

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.

WHY? Christians have no right to do so. Neither do Jews, in The New London. Why is it that MUSLIMS are the only ones that have the RIGHT not to be offended?

Dhimmitude at its best. I'm disgusted at the pantiwaists that live in Europe these days!! Absolutely disgusted!!

"Printing that cartoon was supremely stupid. 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."

News flash! Muslims are constantly offended about one thing or another and their solution often consists of explosives and/or long swords, which often cause "hurt, anger and offence".

The more I learn about Islam, the more I know the world would be much better off without it.

If you have yet to see them, the "offensive" cartoons are here.

Responsible Muslim leaders have already condemned the appalling placards.

I didn't hear the condemnation. Guess the sounds of the world-wide riots drowned it out.

[Reactionary]

The point of printing the cartoons was to illustrate that the Western news media practices self-censorship and that Islam is an intolerant religion. That was the point.

It seems, however, that everyone has missed that. Everyone has missed the fact that the publisher showed everyone the truth of both assertions.

There you go! These creeps should slink back to the stinking hell-holes they came from. Then they can go crazy over nothing with all of their friends and neighbors. If they don't like in the West, they should get the hell out and stay out!

How's that for averring?

[randita]

Muslims deserve to have their faith respected.

Pretty difficult to have respect for a faith that advocates the wanton slaughter of innocent human beings for no other reason than that they are not Muslim or not the right type of Muslims.

Also, respect cuts both ways. How much respect is granted to Christians in Muslim countries?

If true, if there is a right not to be offended, there is no freedom of speech.
