I'm not putting my address on something for privacy reasons - it's a rather rapid route to identity theft by automated web crawlers.

As far as the rest goes - I have been publishing them via social media and here. My real name is on Facebook and Twitter, that plus my alias on a couple of the sites and Google means someone minded to could find me in a matter of minutes.

Using social media gives my publishing a broader audience than a website would, along with a more appropriate context.

You're welcome.

If there were ever a story where such a thing were editorially justified this would be it.

Agreed.

They don't, however, mind splashing Cliff Richard's face all over the place when there's no evidence at all that he's done anything wrong. I guess the BBC panel which decides who's offended (or unfairly damaged) by what doesn't feel that sort of thing matters.

It was all about being questioned and criticised.
they kill you for questioning their stupidity. and for criticising their stupidity.

they're shocked at a cartoon.
and we're shocked that they actually killed because of a cartoon.

but where has it got them?
nowhere. instead of silencing a few. they've attracted many millions more to question and criticise their stupidity.

The Guardian have shown it, albeit with a warning that it may offend.

The BBC showed it on Newsnight as well.: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...-on-cover.html

I wish we could decide what his name actually is.

is it Mohammed or is it Muhammed?
I've seen it spelt both ways on the same piece of paper. and in the same article.

another one is Muhammad.

Perhaps audience research suggests murderous 'religious' fanatics and don't watch Newsnight.

Good! Part of the way there.

I've seen loads of posts around the net of people complaining that they "don't get the joke" after seeing the cartoons, old and new. The "jokes" are SATIRICAL and not meant to make you laugh.

The definition of satire can elude some.

So Miranda and The Mighty Boosh must be satire then...

Some far more than others, clearly...

Not sure if that's enough mate, I think not to be cowards we have to put on a sandwich board coated with these cartoons and walk around the middle of Bradford and Luton (Die Hard 3 Style) Then and only then are we doing our bit.

Likewise should we in future support any military campaignes, anyone that wants to show such support on here will have to go straight down to army careers and join up, lest we want to be labelled cowards by certain members of this site?

Your post, that I replied to, implied that the cartoonists shouldn't have been publishing what they were. Or did I misread it?

Sorry.

In that case I'll also stop commenting on ATP tennis, as I'm not a professional tennis player, the Aviva Premiership as I only got as far as school rugby, world fencing as I only got as far as national level, and ICC cricket as I only got as far as county level.
