If expression is so free, why can't I call an Asian yellow or a Native red? Why can't I call a gay man a fag? It's political correctness, and if you want to use the freedom of speech defense, then I reserve my right to be a right wing red-neck and start spewing out hateful things against everyone.

Both sides are being hypocritical. Apparently it's free speech if we insult Muslims, so long as we don't call them brown which would be racist? Uhhhh.... their religion is part of their race, much like the Jewish people.

Cow, I agree that their complaints need to be taken up through the proper channels. I also agree that this is brought on by their governments who are looking to whip their citizens into a frenzy in order to better fight Western culture. I agree that they are completely over-reacting. However, I do think that they have legitimate complaints, and that you don't poke the damn bear! Seriously! Freedom of speech is nice, but use some common sense! You don't further antagonize an entire culture when you are currently waging war with some of them! In todays day of instant global communication, you can't do things like that! These people feel they have nothing to lose, so why not start a war over drawings!
