I also perfectly understand Trudeau's comment: he does not wish to make cartoons that directly mock founders of major religions.

You obviously haven't seen his posts that mock Christian Fundamentalists.

"Amanda Bennett, The Inquirer's editor said, 'I told them I was actually really proud of them for exercising their right to freedom of speech.'"

The same paternalism the media uses toward blacks.
I'll bet the blacks and Muslims really like it when some rich white guy or woman pats them on the head.

THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS:

I followed your link to here ...

http://www.faithfreedom.org/challenge.htm
.. where the challenge to defend Mohammed was laid down by an ex-Muslim who claimed

"I accuse Muhammad of being:

a rapist
a pedophile (had sex with a child)
an assassin
a mass murderer
a ruthless torturer
a terrorist (I have been made victorious through terror)
a lecher
a misogynist
a narcissist
a thief and plunderer
a cult leader
a mentally deranged (was paranoid, heard voices, hallucinated of seeing jinns, Satan and angels, used to think he had sex with his wives when he did not, suffered from depression and had suicidal tendencies)."


This reply from a Muslim leader he was challenging in my mind 'says it all' ...

"Thank you for your email. I certainly do not object to you posting whatever you like about Islam on he Internet. As an About.com Guide, I have an obligation to provide my users with truthful and accurate information about the faith. I would be interested in reviewing your site. However I am accessing he Internet from Saudi Arabia at the moment, and your URL comes up as "blocked." The government of Saudi Arabia has strict Internet access control, and any sites that are perceived as blasphemous against the faith are blocked at the server level. Thus, I cannot access any of the pages."

"It's disrespectful to our prophet to imply that he's a prophet of violence."

HAHAHAHA! Considering the mayhem committed in his name, how could you imply that he's anything BUT?!?!?!

The quote I responded to was from one of the protesting Imams.

Peaceful picketing is an appropriate response by those concerned about this. That I totally support and is within the rights of the picketers.

It is far better than the "I will Kill you for claiming Mohammed was a violent man" alternative.

Why? They are exercising their rights in an appropriate manner for once.

Tell that to the terrorists who slaughter people in the name of allah and muhammad. Oh...and tell it to your fellow picketers worldwide who are calling for beheadings...oh, and don't forget those who do things such as stab movie makers because you don't like their films. Hypocrite.
