I did note however that in a case (Mosque of Paris v Val 2007) where a French mosque Took legal proceedings against the magazines chief-editor, Phillips Val, based on three cartoons, one depicting Muhammad carrying a bomb in his turban, he was acquitted with a finding that it was fundamentalists, rather than Muslims, who were being ridiculed in the cartoons. And rightly so. We really can't allow this kind of extreme religious sensitivity dictate how we think and express our thoughts.

I agree. It's a world gone mad when people can be murdered over a bloody cartoon.
