hmm, seems to me that the 'problem' here is a lack of empathy/understanding. I totally agree with the principle of free speech, but, I am also just as keen on the principle of respect. Having the right to free speech shouldn't mean it is is ok to upset & insult people.

- personally I was previously unaware of the feelings of Muslims about images of the Prophet, but, now I do know I would not dream of publishing such an image.

It seems simple enough, we agree not to upset our Islamic neighbours with such material in the future, we all shake hands & move on.

For anyone who feels that is 'giving in', I think it would be as much a victory for mutual respect, as it might be a defeat for free speech.
