Yup, I agree with you.
The deference comes when you apologize for a cartoon drawing.
Free speach, property laws and laws governing personal safety should not (but are) be malleable to the whim of a small segment of the populations religious fervour.
This is an example, truly, of 'The Terrorists have Won.'
We can't commit a thought crime for fear of terrorist retribution. Seemingly, most people are comfortable with this. I, however, have this reaction
Edit: and I don't mean YOU apologizing and don't just mean the cartoon (or the movie).
It's the nature of it. The film shouldn't even be mentioned, because it doesn't matter if it's a 3 hour video of my ####ting on the Qur'an, that's not a call to violence, it's not an excuse for violence and it's not a 'reason' for violence.
