you have the right to insult whatever faith you want, but one would hope that you exercise your right to freedom of speech in a mature manor.

 

if you don't then that would be a shame, but not a reason to come after you.

 

that is the whole point here.  freedom of speech is a right, and the fact that some will abuse that right (like the danish paper) does not mean that it should be taken away from others.

 

what happened in denmark is unfortunate, but it does not change the belief that many have regarding freedom of speech.

 

"people demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom us."  kierkegaard (danish philosopher).
