Are the cartoons, published in France, after first being published in Denmark, a stand for freedom in our Western press, or an insensitive attack against Muslims?

In Islamic art, it's against religious laws to portray any image of a living thing. On old Islamic tiles and rugs, when figures are portrayed, they are always shown with their throats cut, thus they aren't alive.

After these cartoons were published in French and Spanish papers today, the EEC offices in Palestine were today surrounded by armed protesters.

Our own Government is trying to bring in laws that would outlaw derogatory jokes about people's faiths, much to the anger of most comedians. Goodbye to there was a Catholic, Jew and a Nun in a bar.

It was quite easy to find the cartoons that have been published of Mohamed, but in case a fatwa is issued I'll let you search for them yourselves, and make your own minds up if they are offensive.
