I'm a strong believer in freedom of speech. I understand people are going to be offended over sensitive subjects as religion and politics, but the question is where to draw the line. And most importantly, who's deciding where to draw the line? What if Bush decides people can't make funny pictures of him anymore? Or a more extreme example: What if a group of people are offended by a picture of a moose?

Why is the Muslim world so sensitive about a cartoon, while most other religions just deal with it? How many times has God or Jesus featured in a satirical cartoon? I've never seen flags burned because of it, I'm sure.

Addendum: I must add that I find the Danish cartoons quite distasteful myself, It's just the principle I'm talking about here.
