It's still entirely consistent to think that these cartoons are both anti-Semitic, and perfectly fine to print in newspapers if our motivations are purely free speech based. My point, is that they're not.

How do you reconcile being against blasphemy laws, while also thinking that cartoons of Mo shouldn't be printed? Depicting him only goes against a religion, which is different to offensively portraying a living person.
