i wanted to post about them before... but i think i was blocked at the time.
any thoughts on that?
freedom of press vs religious / cultural insult?
i have an opinion (of course)
but i'd be interested to hear what other people think...
(you know what i'm talking about? it was about the cartoons depicting... some religious leader... and apparantly the insult was that you aren't supposed to depict that religious leader in pictures etc)
apparantly... that was what it was about. not so much that they considered him to be depicted in an insulting manner (though that may have added insult ot injury) more that he was depicted at all...
and then the point that when that hit the news... other news sources reproduced teh image....
