Worth killing for?
Muhammad and the cartoonists: Is satire now a capital offense?
It was two years ago this month that the Islamic world erupted over 12 Danish cartoons depicting the Muslim prophet Muhammad. The message: the cartoons are blasphemy and blasphemy is a crime punishable by death. The blogosphere rallied to the cartoonists' cause, but very few Western newspapers published the offending images for fear of further backlash.
The cartoonists went into hiding, and for good reason. On Tuesday, Danish police said they had arrested three people suspected of plotting to kill Kurt Westergaard, the man who drew the iconic cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.
Should religious sensitivity trump free speech? Are the cartoons a poke in the eye or a blow for free expression? And does the murderous response to the cartoons create a greater rift between Islam and the West?

Muhammad and the cartoonists: Is satire now a capital offense?
Submitted on February 16th, 2008 by AnonymousOf course it is! Riots, death threats against Salmon Rushdie and his book publishers are surly indicators that it is OK . How could it not be OK kill for Allah. Some people will say it is only the radicals that feel that way. Well why are there tens of thousands rioting about an "insult". There are way too many Moslems stuck in the 8 the century.
I can't even imagine what would happen if someone made an art work similar to Andres Serrano's Piss Christ using the Muhammad as the subject. I'm sure most people felt Serrano's work was disguting but I don't recall any riots or death threats. BTW, I'm an agnostic.
Getting it right this time?
Submitted on February 13th, 2008 by BenEvery newspaper in Europe and the United States should follow the lead of their Danish colleagues and reprint the cartoons. Why? Because they're news, that's why! Readers should see for themselves what the controversy is about. It's indispensable context for the story. And most people, I think, would be surprised at what gets you marked for death nowadays.
But there is a larger principle at stake, which I delve into in my blog post on the subject.
