Free speech vs. religious ideals, current events in question. Options

[jayi12-15psi]

If you watch the news you're aware of the events taking place in the middle east reguarding violent protests against anti-Muslim danish Cartoons. Most people will tell you that violence is obviously not the answer, but the issue at hand here is... Do you think that the rights of free speech should be curbed so it does not offend a religion?

good taste and respect should rule over all

Good taste and respect according to who?

Like i think my car is done in good taste according to me, but you might think it's hideous. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. These people just happened to show it through a cartoon.

true. but at the same time, generally speaking, a car does not invoke as much emotion as one's religion.

i see this on the news, and i always think, they could not have thought this was a good idea. "Hey, lets make cartoons about religions! Yeah, that would be hilarious!"

edit: thought about it, didnt want to open up another can of worms.
