WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Washington on Friday condemned caricatures in European newspapers of Islam's Prophet Mohammad, siding with Muslims who are outraged that the publications put press freedom over respect for religion.

"These cartoons are indeed offensive to the belief of Muslims," State Department spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in answer to a question.

"We all fully recognize and respect freedom of the press and expression but it must be coupled with press responsibility. Inciting religious or ethnic hatreds in this manner is not acceptable."

I know what you mean. I see this stuff and try as I might, I just can't find words strong enough to express what I truly think about this disgusting sequence of events that seems to be playing out so unsatisfactorily. Not enough bombast in the universe to g over the top when discussing this stuff.

Get your State Dept. under control Condi.

Why do you assume that she is not in control?

[M. Espinola]

State's appeasers are once again defending the "Religion of Peace".
