It's already been established that some don't understand why the Muslim's reacted this way, and some don't understand why non-Muslim's don't understand.
It's already been established, that making a mockery of one religion shows a lack of respect, and the reaction that's currently been show is completely over the top and could have not been escalated as high.
Finito.

In australia recently they have been talking about making it illegal to burn the national flag. The reason for this is the recent protest by our indegineous community on "australia day" (which they call "invasion day" since it was the day their country was occupied by Europeans), where the protesters burnt an Australian flag.
I think this is a good example of how we in the west can sometimes react badly to another person's free speach. I think it is plain wrong to put someone in jail for burning a flag. Okay jailing someone is not as bad as burning down an embassy or killing people, but it is an example how many of us are capable of over-reacting when we feel our way of life is threatened by another person exercising their right to free speach.
I'm not justifying the carnage being caused by muslim protesters to the cartoon. Infact I'm saying we should tidy up our own house before critiscising. Does anyone here seriously believe the jewish community would allow holocaust jokes? It's completely and utterly politically incorrect to make jewish holocaust jokes in the west. And in fact it would be insensitive to do so. Likewise, having been aquainted with how seriously Islam views images of the prophet, can we now accept that we should be more sensitive, but without justifying the voilence that has arisen?
When Iran publishes it's Holocaust jokes, can we demonstrate our love of free speach by letting them do so without a single wimper of protest?
These are the important questions for the west at this time.
