Do you believe Western press has the right to publish the controversial cartoons on Prophet Mohammad? Yes, it's freedom of the press. No, religious sensitivities should be respected.
yeah, but here's a redo of that editorial cartoon. A stab at thee Islamic terrorists!

YES, it’s freedom of the press, and I respect Muslim’s religious sensitivities as well. There is no legal mandate that forces Muslims buy or read newspapers that publish satirical cartoons they find offensive. They can exercise their freedom of choice and make this the non issue it really is...
Yes, publish the toons ...
BTTT
its up to 46/54 yes/no
Being coerced into self censorship of depictions of historical figures in the name of 'religious sensitivity' is preposterous and ignorant. The right to a free exchange of ideas and information in an informed society should always trump narrow religious views.
That's winning??? ((Muslim) should be inserted for that's what this is all about.)
Unbelievable!!! Since when does the western press respect "religious sensitivities"? certainly not Christian religious sensitivities.
A classic example of the PC morons respecting that which will undo their very right to exist.
Time to freep this poll guys..it's ono the front page of channel news asia

Islamic Society of Denmark Used Fake Cartoons to Create Story!
THIS WHOLE DANISH CARTOON CONTROVERSY WAS MADE UP BY THE "ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF DENMARK" WHO SPREAD THE FAKE CARTOONS ON THEIR TRIP TO THE MIDDLE EAST!
The leader of the group is a radical Islamist known for supporting the Anti-Western Islamist struggle!
The organisation Islamic Society in Denmark toured the Middle-East to create awareness about the cartoons, bringing 3 additional images, which HAD NEVER been published in any media source. Evidently, the originals were not offensive enough for the trip so they had to add these three:
The first of the three additional pictures, which are of poor quality, shows Muhammad as a pedophile demon.*
The second shows Muhammed with a pig snout.*
The third depicts a praying Muslim being raped by a dog*.
BBC World also aired a story showing one of the three non-published images, on 2006-01-30, and wrongly claimed it had been published in Jyllands-Posten.
On the tour, the group claimed to represent 21 different Muslim organisations in Denmark, although many of these groups have disclaimed any connection.
Akhmad Akkari, spokesman of the Danish Muslim organisations which organised the tour, explained that the three drawings had been added to "give an insight in how hateful the atmosphere in Denmark is towards Muslims."
Akkari claimed he does not know the origin of the three pictures. He said they had been sent anonymously to Danish Muslims. However, when Ekstra Bladet asked if it could talk to these Muslims, Akkari refused to reveal their identity. These images had however never been published in Jyllands-Posten.
The society also allegedly exaggerated its membership, claiming to represent all of Denmark's 200,000 Muslims, when the actual number of adherents is believed to be fewer than 15,000. [30]. 500-1000 people attend their Friday prayer gathering each week[31].
Imam Ahmad Abu Ladan is involved in an international group of Muslims who are known for supporting the anti-Western Islamist struggle of the school of global Jihad.
Imam Ahmad Abu Ladan also tried to block the re-election of the right-wing government in Denmark in the previous election.
Imam Ahmad Abu Laban, the leader of the organisation stated in Al Jazeera that Muslims should boycott Denmark, despite giving contradictory assurances to Western media. Ahmad Abu Laban, previously declared unwelcome in several Arab states, was one of the front figures on the tour [citation needed].
Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen said of Muslims criticising the country in the Arab territories: "I am speechless that those people, whom we have given the right to live in Denmark and where they freely have chosen to stay, are now touring Arab countries and inciting antipathy towards Denmark and the Danish people"[33].
Further misinformation spread among Arab Muslims include claims that Jyllands-Posten is a government-owned newspaper (it is privately owned) - spokesman for the Danish delegation Muhammed al Samha, and delegation member Ahmed al-Harbi said in the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram: "Jyllands-Posten, a newspaper belonging to the ruling Danish party - an extreme right-wing party - [was] publishing drawings and sketches of the prophet Muhammad."
* I shrank up the outrageous and fake cartoons from original size. I do not intend to offend.
The Brussels Journal has been following the story closely from Europe.
Shawn Wasson notices the selective outrage.
The Astute Blogger has more on Abu Ladan lying to the media!
Counterterrorism Blog has more on Abu Laden's mideast stunts, today.
Zombietime has the largest collection of Muhammad pictures on the net.
And, Pajamas Media is carrying the story from a variety of blog perspectives.
Michelle Malkin has a huge roundup on the two-faced American media.
The mainstream news is so out of touch with this story.
Good point! Playing on the "religious sensitivities" of others non-muslim, in a poll clearly about muslim cartoons.
The option for that poll should have been:
"No, terrorist religious preferences should be respected."
Freeped. Now it's 52% in favor of. Good job.
woah... not yet.. need as large a vote as possible... to make it decisive!
Freeped
Right!...or
"No, terrorist religious preferences should be obeyed."
The phrasing of their question highlights the free press' buckling under to a violent killer sect, mistaking such for the more noble trait called "respect".
Done - Political Correctness is now currently loosing.
Their lack of integrity is akin dealing with the snake. Wake up world! See who we are dealing with here!
Multiple voting possible which makes the poll's results suspect.
