One of the points I attempted to make in my comment is that "Freedom of Speech" is severly restricted throughout the Muslim world. If you believe this to be untrue than let us know how and why you believe differently But by all means do not do so by inclduing a cartoon of Mohammed as part of your answer.

Nor should you criticize Islam for risk of being called an Islamophobe, even if your criticism is spot on.

For instance, if you write that Mohammed was a warrior who killed, raped and pillaged his enemies (non-Muslims) you will be called a hateful liar, even though the Koran is filled with stories describing this very thing; and even though Islamists throughout the world quote chapter and verse from the Koran while beheading people like Daniel Pearl.

Here in the West though, pretty much anything goes. If you want to place your art --and if it happens to be a depiction of someone pissing on Jesus Christ-- chances are the MoMa will display it. And chances also are people will not riot in the streets and kill people and burn down embassies because of your artwork.

In any case, I'm not sure what you are trying to say. I was simply factually laying out some truths about how profoundly different our freedoms are from their lack of freedoms. This is not "offensive" unless you consider telling the truth to be "offensive". If I did so less delicately than is your wont then I'm sorry. I just ask that you do not riot, kill and burn down Dutch embassies in anger over my crass ways.
