Actually, just in these last few years more measures were taken by European governments to suppress any sort of anti-Semitic portrayal.

The Danish daily turned down the cartoons of Christ three years ago, on the grounds that they could be offensive to readers and were not funny.
In April 2003, Danish illustrator Christoffer Zieler submitted a series of unsolicited cartoons dealing with the resurrection of Christ to Jyllands-Posten.
Zieler received an email back from the paper's Sunday editor, Jens Kaiser, which said: "I don't think Jyllands-Posten's readers will enjoy the drawings. As a matter of fact, I think that they will provoke an outcry. Therefore, I will not use them."
clearly the paper doesn't respect islam in the same manner that it does christianity. they can hide behind "freedom of speech" now, but the hypocrisy speaks otherwise.

^^ Yep, that's a bad look for the newspaper, they should print them now to prove a important point, it would not be illegal at all.
It's not the newspaper (most) people are defending, it's the right to publish caricatures/parodies on religions, organizations, companies, countries, famous people, etc etc

Some ? Name them.
In free countries, laws like that are made to suppress extremists like nazists, KKK, terrorists, etc. from spreading hate propaganda and to avoid them recruiting new members, it's not made to stop newspapers from printing comic caricatures.
