"Muhammad cartoons are demonization, not expression"

The cartoon controversy is not about freedom of expression versus freedom of religion or about blasphemy. The issue is about demonization.

The cartoons did not attack the dogma of Islam but depicted the Prophet as one who supports terrorism and suicide bombing.

A study of history shows us that the persecution of Native Americans, African slaves, African Americans, Jews (especially in Nazi Germany), Bosnians, Gujarati Muslims (India) and other similar persecution was always preceded by demonization.

If you had done some research in the background of Mr. Flemming Rose, the culture editor of the Danish newspaper that first published the cartoons you would have found out that he has ties to Daniel Pipes, a well-known Islamophobe.

You should also do some research before making sweeping statements or agreeing with them, statements such as drawing a picture of Prophet Muhammad is considered blasphemous by all Muslims.
