in the US it very much like denmark regarding free speech protection, offensive, hateful or otherwise its protected.
you obvously lack understanding of most western nations.
and isnt it ironic you attack jews...french law was the reasoning, not because jews demanded punishment.
france banned all hate by law, its not just for jews...

Imagine that you are allowed to say whatever you want in your mind under unlimited freespeach rule, so when you go to work you can directly insult your , the next day you will be out off work.
I demand freespeech under the condition of equality , fairness , and respect to other parties.
you have to hold the stick from the middle to make the balance. don’t hold one of the extreme sides.

European countries are competing each other in showing those picture. I bet that they will not even dare about thinking about publishing them if they were offending Israel or Judaism.
screw his importance, muslims deserve no special treatment over others, europeans have a right to disrespect any religion they want, they have their own minds.

and iraq it was illegal before the war but still...but thts not what i meant, im just saying even if theres freedom, still arab nations dont understand our thinking or our level of openness and how we offend everyone all the time, we see any cnflict as between offender and offended, any apology is betwenn them, not a whole country, family, etc.

Oh, and just so anyone may think that I support Israel, I don't, I dislike Israel as a country, I dislike Isrealis as a people, and I dislike the attitude that the people, country and government have.

I´ve heard that among shiamuslims in Iran it is common to make pictures of Muhammed. How come they don´t get a similar reaction as Denmark is experiencing now?
Present calculations indicate that some 90% of the world's Muslims are Sunni and approximately 10% are Shi'a, but the Shi'a are certainly undercounted. Further work is needed before these statistics are defensible

Meanwhile, a different group associated with Fatah, the Abu-Rish Brigades, issued an eight-hour ultimatum to Denmark and a similar demand for an apology.
The group's announcement noted that should Denmark and Europe fail to apologies, "We'll abduct and hurt all citizens of the European countries who hurt Islam's feelings and honor."
Meanwhile al-Qaeda affiliated group Abu Hafez al-Masri Brigades threatened Denmark on Wednesday with “bloody war” in reaction to insults against Prophet Muhammad.
In a message sent to the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi, the group warned of attacks in Denmark similar to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. The message comes in the wake of a series of calls for attacks against Denmark published on Jihadi websites.

Also, I feel dearly for the latest Hamas victory, Fatah was probably the only party who held the interests of Palestine at hand
