Would you be calling for the same if the religion were Christianity and the cartoons were of Jesus? Frankly, I find it refreshing that someone in France has some gonads. I just hope that they remain defiant in the face of the usual calls of tolerance from the intolerant.
Of course I would be. I am primarily concerned with the rights of Christians and with the Christian character of our civilization. At the same time, a civilized society cannot define blasphemy but in religion-neutral terms. Blasphemy should be understood as a violation of rights across the board.
