ScruU2wice, you and many others on this forum spend a lot of time and effort discussing what I think and yet never really say what you think about the issue. This topic isn't about me it's about the clash between Muslims and Western secular values.
The question is, do you think the European press should give in to Muslim pressure and stop printing any pictures of Muhammad or carry on as usual? Should Muslims be given special treatment by the Western media, and our freedom of speech be surrendered to please them?

I already said I think muslims are going nuts over something that offends them, and It shouldn't be a surprise. I don't think they should be going as crazy as they are over this, and I don't think there is anything in Islam that says we should. I don't think that the danish should have published it in the first place, just because I think only like 3 of them make a point. I don't think that they should be barred either, if the newspaper wants to print it go ahead. I think that it was the papers right to fire any employee they choose if they believe that the employees actions are harmful to the company. But most of all I think people are stupid especially the muslim people who are up in arms over this. None of those crappy cartoons woulda got gotten a second glance if the muslims didn't see it as an attack.
So now that I have answered all of your questions as bluntly as possible, answer mine. What is your solution to the "Islamic" problems? Inquisition maybe?

The solution is to let Muslims who come to live in Western countries know that they can't demand we change our way of life and give up our freedom of speech just because they are offended by it. If we give in to this, next it will be something else, and eventually shariah law. We shouldn't let them gradually turn our societies Islamic, they should adapt to our way of life or live in an Islamic country.
