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.

The Gary Lineker and Mae Muller scenarios make me believe you on some people all of a sudden being anti-free speech when they're normally pro.

I'm not just talking about on TIBB, I saw some people on other sites wanting those two silenced just for having an opinion that didn't align with their own viewpoint.
