Aye, but in the here and now this case is just so easy not to do it in the first place. Cartoons aren't worth the risk to people's lives. This problem can't be fixed by US government, we've all ready established that fact by their own Constitution the role of government. So somehow to a personal level just gotta get these people or businesses convinced not to publish them.
I suppose until we can achieve agreement to settle the Mohammad cartoon issue, that it shall be a feeble sort of containment policy of censorship, but it seems that be failing too in what is called the information age.

Don't you get it YET!!! Our whole way of life, our Christianity, our freedoms, everything from what and how we eat, to women being allowed outside of their homes without a male relative accompanying them or wearing a burqa to EVERY other aspect of our life PROVOKES them!!!
What has to happen before that sinks in to your head? Massive numbers beheaded? Caged people being set on fire? How about hijacked planes murdering 3000 Americans?
Thank the Lord there are people brave enough to say NO!!!!!!!!!!! And put up their stand, FOR US< with drawing a stupid cartoon of a homicidal pedophile.

So here's what I think is not being understood.Muslims are killing people of their OWN faith because they are not conservative enough,hence you have ISIS. The question is not whether the cartoons incite violence,the question is is there free speech in this country or not? Last time I checked there is. If the US doesn't soon wake up,like Pen Ed said,women in this country will soon be covered head to toe in black fabric so as not to "offend" Muslims. They want freedom of religion here,they've been given that.But that doesn't give them the right to infringe on other peoples beliefs or lack there of. If you dont want your prophet mocked then stay in your own country where they believe as you do.Christians have been mocked for years. So if the argument is we dont want to offend Muslims then I had better not hear God D@#$ or Jesus Christs name taken in vain in a movie or on tv/radio again. I better not see mocking cartoons of our God. I better not go to work and hear His name taken in vain again. Or I have the right to gun everyone down in cold blood because Ive been offended. See it goes both ways?
Id like to know what liberty and freedom I have to go to most of these Muslim countries as a women and dress how I like and say what I like. What freedom would I have to drive and have a job and show my ankles? How long before my American behind would be set on fire? See you dont get the right to demand freedoms in my country that you dont give me in your country.Id say thats fair,wouldnt you? You do not give in to dictators,period. They have no right to come into our country and dictate what freedoms we have.If you dont like the freedoms in this country you are free to go back to your home country.Because if we give in to this nonsense soon no one will have freedom of speech or thought,especially Christians.If you dont think Im right,show me where they have these freedoms in their own country. They dont. If you want to live in Rome you do as the Romans do.Freedom of speech is protected in this country whether you like it or not.

If you understand Muslims as well as you say you do then you know it takes nothing to offend their religious sensibilities. Like your being a Christian makes you an infidel for instance. You're either to be killed or made a slave. The most conservative are killing Christians at an alarming rate. Yet I hear nothing of this. What I hear is dont offend Muslims. If Muslims dont want to be offended they can stay in their own countries,surrounded by people of like faith and not worry that they will be offended.Sounds like a plan to me.
So that the whole world will see, and know, that when a religion advocates and promotes physical violence it is the enemy of the whole world.
You know what bullies do right? They try to scare people with their un-Godly violence to make them bow to their will.
There is only one way to deal with a bully. It is not by hoping they will change their ways. It is by showing that you are not afraid. It is by showing you will not bow to their will. It is by showing that there are severe consequences for their actions.
Might as well bring it all out into the light. Let's get it over with if it is inevitable. The sooner the better.

Because she wasnt near a mosque. She has the freedom of speech to do what she did. Just because that offends Muslims doesn't take away her freedom of speech. They have the freedom to disagree and to speak out but they dont have the right to go shoot up a group of people that disagree with their religious beliefs or offend them.

By that reasoning, the founding fathers would never have taken the risk to openly rebel against Britain.
Free speech is absolutely necessary to the concept of an exchange of ideas within a democracy to assure our continued freedoms. Without free speech and open debate, we subject ourselves to tyranny, which always starts with people asking themselves "Is it worth pissing off the 'authorities'?"

"If someone says anything [anyone considers] mean-spirited at the University of Colorado Boulder – campus administrators want to know about it. Not only that – they want to know the offender’s name, age, email address and more.
University of Colorado-Boulder has launched a new campaign encouraging students to report any “bias” they come across to campus authorities, who collect details including offenders’ names, birthdays, genders – even social security numbers – along with a description of the [alleged] 'incident.'
The 'Bias Incident Reporting' effort aims to [destroy free speech on campus which is protected by the first amendment by] 'address[ing] the impact of demeaning and hurtful statements as well as acts of intolerance directed towards protected classes,' CU Boulder’s website states.
