Cartoons and freedom of speech
Please everyone, go to BBC or CNN´s homepage and read about the problems that Danes has with Muslims these days....Please, study the history, and then write me a comment about it.
This is a about democracy, freedom of speech, respect of other people, and how hate to other culture can grow really fast in some few days. The danish right-wing party is most likely going to win the next election, due to the way that some few(?) muslims are reacting to this.
I know what I think about this whole issue, but I would like to know YOUR oppion.

a few? i think you need to read up on this topic mads..
hey mads,
what I think? to be honest I am a bit confused. If you want to justify the cartoons by saying that there is freedom of speech, then a lot of other parts of the system would probably break down. I don't know much about Denmark, but in the Czech Republic we have some laws that forbid promoting racism, anti-semitism, also forbid public offense and such stuff. I don't know if you have those in Denmark.. But I think that freedom of speech is not ultimate. If people started making fun of black people or Jewish people it would just all end up in "oh-you-are-so-bad" kind of fight. But if it is about Muslims who suffer the stigma of being terrorists it is often considered to be just fine..
And I dont know. I think that offending people is not the best way how to integrate them. At the same time, one cna never avoid offending people.
:-(
Slightly ToK.
