Tell me this, how do you know 100% what someones religion is by looking at them? Its not an ethnicity and there are varying degrees. The same is for opinion and what is considered offensive.
Take for example a British television channel, even for the most mundane reasons adverts and shows are pulled because of complaints and this isn't even to do with religion.
But to insult someones source of spirituality just because of a handful of lunatics and then call it freedom of speech is an abuse.
But this is on TV and that was a cartoon. It quite literally is the dumbest thing someone can do to remedy this situation. Killing just tilts the public favor to the opposite. The cartoon should have been challenged in court and by creatives in Muslim community who could counter troll. What adult looks at cartoons? I f**king don't and didn't even know it existed before I turned on the news.
Why should your religious views and your religion be imposed on others. You deny the validity of the religion of Polytheists? Christians and Jews and off-course Polytheists deny the validity of the religion of Islam. You have the right to mock and discredit other religions. Grant others the same space to mock yours. To a Christian or a Jew or a Polytheist, Muhammad was as much of a Prophet as the guy standing at the corner of some New York street with a board around his neck declaring "the end of the world is near" is. To you, a Polytheist worships God in the same way that an ant or a monkey does. You don't see a billion or so Polytheists picking up guns and bombs to change or challenge your viewpoint? What gives you or any other Muslim the right to demand that those who don't conform with your beliefs respect your beliefs when you are the first to mock others, including theirs ?
