Because there isn't anything to reconcile. Either we're all free speech absolutists, or we're not. I've learned over the years that I am not, and I don't think that many people are either, it's just that they all pretend they are.

Depicting Mohammed pissed off 1.5-2billion people, whereas the guardian cartoon only pissed off 2-300k Jews that live in the UK, so surely guardian cartons are better (turning your framing around)?

A religion is made up of people too, however hard you try to make it about a faceless religion versus one living man.
