NY Press Kills Cartoons; Staff Walks Out
FILE UNDER: Newspapers
The editorial staff of the alternative weekly New York Press walked out today, en masse, after the paper's publishers backed down from printing the Danish cartoons that have become the center of a global free-speech fight.

Why do some people seem to miss two simple points?

Number 1: Yes, certain speech (or drawings) may be offensive, and anyone has the perfect right to be offended by anything they please, and to say so. Being offended has nothing to do with the right to free speech, and does not impinge it.

Point Number 2: The rule to not make an image of Mohammed is an Islamic rule. NON-MUSLIMS ARE NOT BOUND BY ISLAMIC RULES.

End of story. If Muslims react violently to such things in a free country, they are CRIMINALS, and will be prosecuted under the law.
