@Pizzagirl “Who on this thread - or in America, for that matter - has called for banning cartoons of Muhammed?”
Yale University bans Muhammed cartoons. http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/8108
New York University banned Muhammed cartoons. http://thevillager.com/villager_153/nyubansdanish.html
I do not think it is reasonable to argue that if a Christian is offended by a Muslim’s adhan, the Christian can go somewhere else, but if a Muslim is offended by a Christian’s Muhammed cartoon, then the cartoon has to go.
I am sure the far left will come up with some rationale, but to me freedom of religion does not mean freedom from criticism, and it also does not include the ability to control what other people say and do because we must not offend the Muslims or some other religious group. To me, this a free speech issue, and in my opinion the PC police have gone too far in these cases.
Now this idea seems to be expanding because a publisher in the UK has announced that it is avoiding mentioning pigs, or anything to do with pork because that could offend Muslims. Where does it end?
