Mr Tolerant,
Just imagine the fuss in the west if the same paper had printed anti-jewish
material...

And if so, so what? Isn’t anyone’s right to make “a fuss”? Unless of course by
fuss you mean burn and murder....
The interesting question now is for countries who have freedom of speech (such
as Germany), but yet have laws making it illegal to print pro-Nazi and
anti-holocaust material. Will they reprint the cartoons? Suddenly free speech
is not so free. There is a contradiction there. This is why I always say that
freedom must be coupled with responsibility, or it soon devolves, however
incrementally, into governmental censorship.
