The press in the Muslim world has no scruples about "lampooning Jews," so doesn't that make them the hypocrites?

Actually, Islam is not at all hypocritical: Mohammedans believe that theirs is the only true religion, and that this gives them the right to suppress the freedom of secularists and adherents of other (to their minds) 'false' religions, vilify their adherents, etc., with no reciprocal right given to others.

It took a long time for some Christian confessions to abandon a similar attitude (albeit moderated by the commands of the Gospel, rather than inflamed by warlike suras in the Koran). "Error has no rights," was formerly espoused by some Christians, it is now espoused by Muslims.

This position is not hypocritical, rather it is anti-human.

Funny, haven't seen too many Jews flying planes into buildings and then claiming they are a religion of peace.
