ORIGINAL: LadyEllen If its in order to depict Muhammad with a timebomb turban, why should this be a problem? E So you're voting for the two wrongs make a right theory? I honestly don't believe that of you. And what is exactly so wrong about either? While my personal morals find such cartoons and commentary on any religious icon to be somewhat questionable, in the US we have this little thing called "freedom of speech." I support those who wish to use it to voice their opinions, even though they may be different than mine. This is a case where freedom of speech is quite well supported. It does not cause panic or personal injury as someone who yells "FIRE!" in a crowded room might (or, it shouldn't if we are all tolerable adults). It might inflame some, make others angry, and probably make a few others giggle or laugh, but it is a supported right in the US.
