Freedom of Speech
Danish newspapers have reprinted one of several
caricatures of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) which sparked violent
protests across the Muslim world two years ago. These newspapers
have justified their action showing their commitment to freedom
of speech after an alleged plot to kill one of the cartoonists
behind the drawing. Their freedom of speech is only to insult
Islam. Can anyone ever dare to write anything against Judaism or
the Jews. The entire world will raise its voice protesting
against anti –Semitism.
Recently, when the Archbishop of Canterbury
spoke for liberties and conscience of others living in UK, there
were calls for him to resign because this was in relation to
Sharia law and Muslims. Where is the freedom speech here? This
world is full of hypocrites.
