More on cartoons of Mohammed

I was very sorry to see that the Danish paper that published cartoons of Mohammed apologised for doing so. Then I was pleased to read that other newpapers in Europe had published the cartoons as well, one affirming the "right to blasphemy".

Muslims must have very little faith in their religion if they feel it will be damaged by a cartoon. If it will, in fact, be damaged by a cartoon then it deserves to be damaged. The whole idea of blasphemy is primitive, anyway. I hope more cartoons ridiculing religious leaders are published, not because I disapprove of those leaders, but because it is important that anyone may poke fun at anyone else without incurring penalties.
