yes, there is (ignorance on government level as much as the charicatures)
What do you mean by
quote:
"there is no such thing like "endless" freedom. Your freedom ends where mine begins and vice versa."
?
In the US we have freedom of speech (with the exception being you can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater or something similar) - someone can say what they please, and someone else can agree or disagree, but they both have the right to say it. Should someone say something that offends me, I can voice disagreement, but I can't burn his office down because I am offended.
When some cartoonist posts offensive drawings, it's just as much anyone's right to be offended and say so, as it is his right to draw them. Instead, 4 months later, with the help of danish imams who fake a few more images never meant to portray muhammed, freedom of speech runs into the roadblock of violent protests, killing, burning, and the threat of more of the same against those who had nothing to do with the drawings.
Yes, it is about freedom of speech - not so much mine in this context, since I have no direct connection to the drawings, but definitely the cartoonist's and the danish paper who published them. It's also everyone else's right to say what they think about them, good or bad - but that right doesn't include violence against innocent people who had nothing to do with them.
