Actually some muslim newspaper is going to publish cartoons about holocaust and exuse with freedom of speech. Still I think these are too differnt things. People had died during holocaust, and Mohammed is just a religios figure. Even more, poeple actually die in his name....

We don't have freedom of expression.  We have free speech.  We have laws to protect this right, and laws against the things you mentioned.  The only thing missing is ethics on the part of the public.  Remember the quote:\n\n‘When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.’ \n\nThat quote from Edmund Burke in ‘Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents’ has, in general use, come to be delivered as, ‘The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.’ \n\nWhich ever version you prefer, the message is the same: evil will, therefore good must.\n\nPeople too often remain silent, then wonder why "Government", as if it some outside agency, does not control their lives more.  Look to your own lives and ask, "Have I been more present and active in protecting our institutions of free speech, journalism, publishing, and other media?"\n\nThat is the only way it will change, not further legislation and government paper and ink.

the abuse is  being from the following aspects :\n\n1- muslims never had the drawing of thier prophet mohmmad peace be upon him approved or accepted  by all mean , since we were in kindergarten they taught us about him , about how did he struggled to awake  the mankind by teaching them the REAL islam , the religion of peace and love ,which nobody knows about it today , you only know the damaged version , the tortured-image version , so they never told us this is his picture , we didn't wish to see his face as much as we wished to be capable of applying all things he ordered us to do and follow , that's why we feel insulted when they draw him , and what a draw ! oh please ! did you see those cartoon , please? now if you don't like the way our faith  and religion is , please don't bother yourself with it , buddhist or hindus can worship a cow , we don't like somebody to draw our prophet , any problem?\n\n2- again , if it was just a nice picture for a sweet man who looks gentle , maybe some muslims around the world  would appreciate that ! they may say now we can imagine a good picture for our prophet and we may feel we are closer to him , but what happened is all far from this , they depicted him in the worst picture a muslim can posess : \n\n      a - some muslims knows nothing about islam , they don't really follow the right islam , they bomb others and kills innocent without being in a legal war , now , when those danish draw our prophet wearing a bomb on his head , and moreover written on it the sentence that 1.300.000.000 muslims say each day in each pray in 5 prayers ( la elaha ella allah ( no true god but allah ) mohammad rasolo allah ( mohammad is the messenger of allah) ,  for god sake what reaction are you waiting for ? he was blaming his fellows if they kill an insect or an animal without a purpose ! this is the real islam how dare they put a bomb above his head , peace be upon him .\n\n      \n     b- " We ran out of virgins " , what a cartoon!!!! you won't even allow me to depict your father doing that  , or even your bf , then how can i keep silent when the one i believe he is the best man of humanity is being depicted like that ? our prophet had 12 wives , yes , but please did the one who drew the cartoon read islam histroy before doing that? did he know where did each wife of them came from? did he know that we call them  -his wives- :" mothers of believers " , and all muslim women try to follow them in the fabulous way  they lived , can't I say : objection please , this is very offensive !! \n\n    c- a man with a beard and a knife in his hand ,,,  and 2  women behind him with the dress more than 30.000.000 million women in the islamic world usually wear it ( included iran and saudi arabia ) ( i.e : vail and long black dress and only eyes appear) , please  , what kind of freedom was that ? what kind of human those who are going to accept it? \n\nthat was a description of 3 out of 12 cartoon , how was that? convinsing?\n\nnow , continueing my points : \n\n3- the world care so much about the human rights , right ? human rights knows no time or specific place to be applied at , let's ask those who don't believe in our prophet mohammad peace be upon him and they made cartoon about him : doesn't he has human rights like all others? if some people who claim to follow him did bad things to you , what's his fault ? a simple example : if a man killed your father , what is his son guilty for? \n\nand  imagine , after all what i have just said  , good muslims around the world  have condemned burning embassies and killing or destroying anything because it's anti-islamic behaviour , they  called only for boycott , the simplest right,\n\n so now who owe the other one an apology and who's the real guilty?

The cartoons were not unfair, just silly, in poor taste, and wrong. What was unfair was implying that all Muslim’s are violent extremists and that their religion is based/founded on violence.\n\nIt is also unfair to imply that all Westerner's are anti-Muslim by attacking and destroying their property.\n\nIt is extremely unfair for a child to die using poor taste, silly cartoons as an excuse.

Yes, it should be of unlimited proportions. Freedom of speech should not and cannot be twisted to the point where it is no longer freedom of speech.\n\nHowever, freedom of speech goes hand in hand with the idea of personal responsibility and accountability. Producing those cartoons was technically legal, but it was irresponsible. Surely the cartoonist knew that those cartoons would cause trouble in extremist countries.\n\nHowever, I also think that the Islamic world is greatly overreacting. They are ruining their credibility and making themselves look like a bunch of whinging little kids who riot at the most petty insult. Do you know how many "Jesus Christ" parody websites exist online? How many Christians burn down embassies for stuff like that?

The cartoon showed a picture of mohammed with a bomb in his turban. \nIt was supposed to be saying that muslims are violent from their early roots. Then they protested through the streets burning european embassies shouting "behead those who insult islam" and didn't do themselves any favours in dispelling that image.

they are free to do whatever they want, i'm not the one who judges.\n\nplus hurting Apostates is NOT commanded by Allah nor the prophet.\nit's neither in the Quran nor the Hadiths, Islam gives freedom of religion and i can explain in details if you want me to.\n\nmay Allah guide them to his path.\n\npeace.

This is a Free Country we will speak against Islam if we wanna and if anyone doesn't like it then such a person can go live in one of those Countries where the Koran is the Law.\n\nAnyways Allah is not Yahweh (Jehovah) at all, Allah is in fact satan, so henceforth a demon spoke to Muhammed and thus told Muhammed to claim Jesus was a great Prophet so that while the status of Christ was degraded down, one would be tricked into falling for Islam's lies on account of the idea that if Jesus is at least acknowledge as a Prophet then that makes the satanic religion of Islam look good in some people's eyes.\n\nBut I will not be fooled and if anyone wants to whine a prayer facing Mecca off the top of their lungs about my exercising my Freedom of Speech then be my guest.

The Mohammed cartoons did not limit any Muslim person's ability to practice their religion.\n\nMaking images of Mohammed is banned in Islam.  But this prohibition doesn't apply to non-Muslims, even though some Muslims seemed to think it does.\n\nAs a Catholic, I've seen and heard derogatory and offensive things about Catholicism that make the Mohammed cartoons look tame by comparison.  \n\nI think this kind of stuff is highly offensive -- but that's part of living in a society where we have free speech.  It means that occasionally, we have to put up with something offensive.\n\nOffensive anti-Catholic material is, to put it mildly, not what I like to see or read -- but I don't feel it has ever limited my ability to practice my religion.

Gee,  people wonder why people are leaving religions in droves and are thoroughly disgusted with the institution as a whole and use the word hypocrisy.  The cartoons were offensive and so were the anti-Semitic cartoons the Islamic press were publishing at the time.  But there is freedom of speech and we are entitled to use it!  Nor do people not of one have have to conform to the rules of another.  I find it funny Muslims are in an uproar over cartoons of their prophet yet at the same time running blatantly anti-Semitic cartoons in THEIR papers.  Talk about talking out of both sides of your mouth...\n\nGROW UP THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU!  We ALL have to live in this world not just you!

I do.  Ok, haven't you seen it?  It's true!! And I have read the Koran.  I didn't see where it forbid the depiction of the prophet.\nBut even if it did, why are the muslims trying to make non muslims obey THEIR laws.  They are violently pushing their religion on those that choose not to follow it.\n\nI support the right of anyone to believe, print and draw whatever the heck they want!  And if the muslims are offended, tough, that's life.

In Islam, one of its main deals is that you can't draw a picture of either God or Prophet Muhammed, or portray them in a film, etc. \n\nIslamic art is mostly based on script (writing) because of it and mosques don't contain pictures like churches do, or stained glass windows, etc.  Mosques do have great Arabic calligraphy though that can be seen as a sort of picture, but because it's letters it isn't.\n\nWhile it may seem "funny" to the West that these people are so mad about a cartoon you have to understand the Islamic world better.  The Islamic world thinks that the West is out to put McDonalds up in place of every mosque and they think that most Westerners hate them and want to destroy their religion.\n\nInstead of saying to them, "hey Muslims, chill out man, we're just like you,"  the cartoonists and newspapers basicially said "you know what, you people are idiots and we disrespect you to your face".\n\nNow Islamic criticism does exist, so do portrayals of the prophet, in cartoon and critically.  So why this particular set of cartoons?  Because some political leaders in the Middle East are provoking these riots, mostly done by uneducated men who have never seen the cartoons.  It's a politically motivated event.  The cartoons were published last September for J's sake.\n\nAlso, the entire Middle East isn't rioting, it's a few dummies.  Most Middle Easterners, while Muslim, are upset about it, but care more about their jobs, family, living day to day, etc.  \n\nA fantastic blog is listed below, it's by a Saudi guy living in London and is against all Islamic extremism, check it out.\n\nHope my answer helped.

I seen plenty of them.  please be honest little... \n\nthis is another link collected some of them:\nhttp://www.tomgrossmedia.com/ArabCartoons.htm\n\nthere are lots of bad things, please Muslims recognize them so we can change them. stop denying\nI heard many who consider jews are the worst in the world.. and the israelit start (6 elements star) almost banned, if anyone drew it will be accused and maybe reveneged against him/her as jew!!

The cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb on his head was totally out of line. It stereotypes Muslims, and implies that Islam is a religion of violence and suicide bombing. These generalizations are unfair and unnaceptable. Islam is a religion of peace - a way of life. There are just those who misunderstand, and those are the ones that get all the attention. There are good Muslims!\n\nI DON'T agree with the way Muslims reacted. What are they angry about? The cartoonist implied that Muslims are VIOLENT, and they reacted with VIOLENCE. That's not protest, that's proving a the cartoonist's point. And that just makes me sad...
