for every action there is an opposite reaction. The Danish people have the right to freedom of speech.
But these countires dont believe in freedom of speech. They also believe that blasphemy is something worth burning buildings down for.
The cartoons were made to insite hatred. Thats what they have done.
I believe in freedom of speech, but with it comes consequences. The consequence of printing cartoons that were designed to insult 2 billion of the worlds population is that a small minority of those two billion people have used it to justify acts of hatred back.
These type of cartoons are the exact same type of cartoons that were printed in Europe about the Jews before the second wolrd war. Designed for one purpose. To create hatred and build prejudice. Thats what they have done and done well.
I believe that all freedom of speech should be alowed, these pictures should be allowed even if they are designed to create hatred. But dont lets all be that naive that we think that some of the people they are designed to insult wont be using it as a new weapon to hit back.
