There is nothing damaging in that article. Plain and simple, newspapers have the right to print anything they want regardless of what other people think. Who cares if the editor did or did not print a Jesus cartoon from a year ago? The fact is Christianity still gets criticized and maligned all the time in the West and no one really gets upset. When Islam finally got its turn to be maligned what resulted was worldwide violence.
ALL RELIGIONS SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO CRITICISM!!!!!

I doubt you'll find that, all the news stories I've seen on the issue contradicts this story on many vital issues, and the author of this being from "World Socialist Web Site", casts shadows over his credibility, when opposed/compared to national and international news associations/agencies all over the world.
The number of caricaturists is wrong when compared to all other medias, and the "Why don't you protest?" part seems very odd, why is no one else reporting this ??
I call socialist BS until proven otherwise, or more credible sources arrive.

this was reported on link tv today by dr james zogby on his show viewpoint. so that is now a corroborating source. dr zogby is the president of the arab american institute. i'll try to find a transcript or another link, he was on with a u.s. ambassador today and this point was brought up.

i'm amused that you stated this. dr zogby actually made this exact opposite argument on his show today. his argument was basically:
"the true test of an open society is not that all taboo's are fair game for ridicule, but how many taboo's that society can respect".
while this is going on with the caricature of mohammad, the germans have extradited and are prosecuting an individual from canada for making anti-semitic remarks and denying the halocaust. why is mocking islam protected by free speech but anti-semitic remarks criminal?
islam is not shown the same respect.

To my mind you would only criminalise a thought, if its getting to near the truth what do the jews have to hide that they would go to such lengths to make the actually debate of the holocaust an illegal and anything published to the contray of what they say an act of hatred. Personally I do not know enough about the holocaust to give my account of what I think so I am not getting into that one but to criminalise thought.......obviously the truth isnt the one being portrayed. As for your other comment indeed this is the hypocrisy, i made reference to the jewish owners preventing the release oi a michael jackson song because it contained anti semetic lyrics. This is the illiusion they are painting so that europeans in a general sense think the muslims are trying to rob us of our freedom of speech, even though its the government who are actively doing that for us.
