After they have been printed in a number of European countries, apparently in support of freedom of speech, should the UK follow suit and make a stand?
From the
BBC:
Quote:

"But it [Muslim Association of Britain] said any reproduction of the images by the British media would "only infuriate the British members of the Muslim community and Muslims around the world".

In other words, British Muslims are no more tolerant than those elsewhere?
I believe that if we were to show more sensitivity towards one religion than another, then that would be as wrong as showing more insensitivity towards one or another.
BTW - reading further in that article:
Quote:

A spokesman [Muslim Council of Britain] said: "It depends on whether they're broadcast to illustrate the story about the row developing or, in the same way as the European newspapers have published, to gloat about freedom.

What the hell does that mean? No-one is 'gloating' about freedom of speech, they are asserting the right to freedom of speech. Something they can only dream of in most of the countries where the complaints are coming from.
