Did anyone there bother to say if you make exceptions for 1, you have to make exceptions for ALL and that would shut down FREE PRESS.

The MSM continues to report, inaccurately, on "the Danish cartoons" which "caused the Muslim riots." Both parts of that statement are false, but the MSM is incompetent in catching up with the truth of the matter.

Such freedoms can be abused when people have the means to utilize them to express their own personal preferences, likes and dislikes. So what?

Here is the danger of freedom when it is in the hands of people who are not sufficiently understanding of the world in which they live, Karpat said. Such freedoms can be abused when people have the means to utilize them to express their own personal preferences, likes and dislikes. Can't have freedom in the hands of people eh Kemal?

They destroyed art over the centuries for depicting anyone.
I am surprised they ever accepted television.
They destroyed the twin towers because they thought it an idol.
But, they bow several times a day to their idol, Mecca.
And, they are offended by some scribbles they claim are blasphemous
when Mohammed is the mother of all blasphemers for denying the
divinity of Christ...

Kempe said. By reprinting this picture, The Badger Herald as an institution claims the right to clearly express that it believes
[that Muhammad] is a terrorist, and that by extension its calling all Muslims terrorists.
Guilty conscience Kempe?

"While none in attendance questioned the Heralds right to print the cartoon, several panelists including University of Wisconsin history professor emeritus Kemal Karpat argued the newspaper abused that right." Kemal Karpat? BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA I wouldn't take this joker seriously just from the sound of his name!

They sure didn't have any qualms about printing Abu Ghraib photos, even though it put the lives of American soldiers at risk!
What hypocrites.

Suri Kempe, the MultiCultural Student Coalitions representative on the panel, said the Herald made an editorial decision to endorse the anti-Islamic speech the cartoon represented.
Implied in the protection of freedom of speech, Kempe argued, is that the defender of speech The Badger Herald, in this case is protecting speech that it believes in. Was Kempe born this stupid, or did he require special training to atrophy his brain to the point where he was a suitable representative for the "MultiCultural Student Coalition"?
By this idiotic "reasoning", anyone who supports freedom of religion must simultaneously believe in atheism, Buddhism, Christianity, ..., Satanism, Wiccanism, and Zoroastrianism.

I've seen "p*ss christ", I've seen Mary covered in dung, I've seen enough anti-semetic, unpatriotic, and enough religiously (christian) offensive crap, to make my blood boil.
And this.......THIS ONE CARTOON, MAKES YOU THINK YOU'VE FINALLY GONE TOO FAR!

Suri Kempe, the MultiCultural Student Coalitions representative on the panel, said the Herald made an editorial decision to endorse the anti-Islamic speech the cartoon represented. It is not an anti muslim cartoon. It is an anti-Islamonazi cartoon and yes there is a difference.
Islamonazis are jihadists willing to kill men women and children (by suicide attack if necessary) to push their supremacist ideology of Islam on the rest of the world. Under Islamic law (not just koranic law but wahabi government) muslims are supreme. Jews and Christians hold a lower legal status in society. Atheists, Hindus, and Buddhists are at the bottom of society. The only "co-existence" is under their dominance (they'll tolerate you while it is necessary). There is no freedom of religion in that mindset. There is no tolerance among them for muslims who convert away from Islam.
Bowing to their "international" laws of blasphemy is bowing to their supremacy. Not going to happen. While depictions of Mohammed are not explicitly prohibited, you can bet that portrayals of Mohammed (even those that do not defame him) by infidels ARE prohibited. Such is the double standard.
Certainly wish all of the peaceful muslims around the world were this vocal in speaking out against the "not really real muslim" terrorists. If they aren't muslims then they defame Islam by killing in the name of Islam.

They've run MORE prison abuse photos of the same soldiers who have already ready been convicted. What's more they are circulating these images in the midst of global "cartoon" riots (holy wars).

If one labels Mohammed a child rapist, does that mean we are labelling all muslims child rapists?

If ANYONE thinks this war is over our involvement in the Middle East or because of Israel's borders, they are mistaken.
This was the world we were in during the months leading UP to the 9-11 attacks.

Mohammed is not a blasphemer. He is an antiChrist figure for usurping the story of Jesus (Islam is the only religion to recognize Him but at the same time it denies His divinity, His death, and His resurrection). Mohammed leads the flock astray.
