It's because mocking the religion needlessly insults ordinary muslims. I feel the same about those mocking Christians, which the media often does. Of course people have a right and should have the right to do it, but that doesn't mean they should. I'm of this opinion despite not being a fluffy bunny, socially liberal type.

I personally have no skin in the game on this Islamic cartoon issue but what these acts do do is scare people into being afraid to exercise their freedom to have an opinion. And scare jounalists into making editorial decisions based on fear. This is not right. It should never become the norm.

A missing dolphin in Dingle will hardly concern somebody in Toulon' Or likewise a serious road accident in Lyons would concern somebody in Clifden. RTE and the MMS in this country are a total disgrace.

I wonder will these cultural differences ever be solvable?
