Everybody is all Freedom of Speech rah rah!!! but what about respecting other religions and beliefs. For example these cartoons, what did drawing them do, that couldn't have been done by other means. The cartoon were specifically made to indirectly or directly offend in some way. I'm not saying Government should take away any freedoms, everybody has a right to free speech. That does not make what they say to be ethical, valuable, or important in any way. People have the responsibility to be better.

In any discussion I have ever had with people, when someone brings up 'I have the right to freedom of speech' they are usually being offensive, racist, sexist, or any other ism and they use freedom of speech as a misinformed cover! This as an example, you offended a group of people to the point that some extremists killed somebody, and because of 'freedom of speech' every media outlet should print more offensive stuff. That really solves the problem.
