ONLY as long as you do not respond violently or with words that incite violence.
Just because someone comes along and insults something and offends you doesn't mean you have the right to respond in ANY way you see fit.
If the world followed that line of logic, then there would be a lot fewer of us around. I've had people insult me, my friends and family members, my schools, my country, my religion...and if I lashed out at everyone who ever said an unkind word to me the way that you guys are implying is your right when someone insults your prophet or Islam...well, it's just ridiculous.
Honestly. Are you even listening to yourselves?
You're right that just because I don't get offended if you insult something that matters to me, that doesn't mean that you have to NOT be offended when it happens to you. But this is where our points of view diverge -- because you both (CBD and EsYyCmdcer) seem to be arguing that it's your RIGHT as Muslims to respond in any way you want...
If that's not special treatment you're expecting, then I don't know what is...
So grow some thicker skin and join the rest of the civilized world instead of rattling your sabers and behaving like petulant children who don't get exactly what they want.
