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?

I didn't mean every single person. But in General its what they know. I mean since I've been alive (im 27) I haven't ever heard of peace over there. Im not saying that everyone resorts to violence, but hate and violence is what they have a lot of and its what they are born into and what they grow up with. A child growing up isn't taught to talk when they get in an arguement like what we are over here. Society is different here, that when 2 sides disagree we try to talk it over first. There they kinda skip that step and resort to violence. I mean it is a totally different mindset of hate. To kill yourself b/c you are so pissed at someone else for having different ideals than you is just not anything that we think about over here.

By no means am I saying that every single person is like that, but I think a good 20% are.
