Offensive Cartoons

As you probably know, were some cartoons published in European newspapers that Muslims find offensive. As a matter of fact, they are so offended that they are shouting death threats aimed at Denmark and France.

All I have to say about this is that they need to get a grip. Threatening death to countries who allow free speech? There are a lot of things in the world that are offensive to many different groups of people. Free speech should not be limited to the point that no one is at risk of being displeased. If that happened, no one would be able to say or write anything! All of these easily affronted people (non-Muslims included) need to learn to just ignore things that they disagree with. It's not like the cartoons were threatening in any way. Being so sensitive that you feel like you must kill anyone who mocks you is just beyond all logic. As a matter of fact, it's stupid.
