My opinion about the Mohamed caricature

It is a crazy world we live in. It started with that caricature of Mohamed that offends many religious muslims. This was not well thought by that Danish magazine and provoked, in their consequence, protests of all religious muslims in the world who consider their religion offended by non-muslims. Now, we have "freedom of press" in the Western world. We - the Western world - should have accepted, however, that this caricature was bad and a single "slip-up" ... And an apology would have been quite OK!

But what do we do, instead, after we see how the Muslim world feels offended by the caricature, after we see their manifestations, arousing hatred against the West ???
We repeat the same awful caricature in other newspapers and magazines! :-( This is already not right, this is an act of confrontation done fully knowing that the Muslim world feels offended! This is already not right. Although I am not a muslim, I, too, condemn this! Hey, this was really not necessary!!! It is, as if we, the non-muslims, would stick our tongue out at all muslims, as if we would say we would not care what the muslims think and have any right to do under the shield of "freedom of press" ...

PEOPLE!!! I ASK YOU: WHERE HAS OUR CIVILIZATION GONE?

We consider our "freedom of religion" a big advantage in our civilised world. Freedom of religion, however, like real civilization, includes tolerance and understanding towards any other religion in the world. "Freedom of press" belongs to our great advancements in civilization, it is good we have a "freedom of press" to fight, with these means, against any oppression, any injustice, any totalitary regimes.
Publishing, the more so knowingly, a caricature, which offends another religion, has nothing to do with "freedom of press"! It is and will remain an act of offence!

I am only a weak, little "nobody" living in the Western world. But I would like to assure every muslim in the world who happens to read this little post in our blog that I condemn this caricature, like many other normal people who live here. That caricature is ugly. Please accept my apologies - also in the name of many other people who live here and who feel the same way! What the big newspapers and magazines did today, this in no way reflects the thinking of the majority of the normal people who live here!
