so, other countries newspapers have backed up their danish colleagues, to the extent where aa chief editor has got himself the sack. But should they have published? I, personally, believe that they were right to do so, and if it were a british newspaper which had published, it would have recieved my full backing. Satire should be universal, as should freedom of expression, and i think that this highlights a fundamental difference of opinion between muslims and, basically, pretty much everyone else.
What do other people think, are the muslims right to be offended, or should they 'lighten up' and realise that humour it a part of society, no matter where you are?
