democracy"

over cartoons that caricatured the prophet Mohammed, "We see Muslims'
contempt for democracy, for freedom of speech, for freedom of the press and
particularly for freedom of religion." The cartoons first drew criticism
after their original September 30, 2005, publication in the Danish
newspaper <http://mediamatters.org/rd?http://www.jp.dk/>Jyllands-Posten.
After initial criticism of the cartoons, which included one that depicted
the prophet Mohammed wearing a turban fashioned into a bomb, several
European newspapers

them on February 1.
From the February 6 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
HUME: What about this controversy? Where is it going? What does it tell us?
Fred?
BARNES: It tells us a lot. It tells us that our enemy or -- is not just Al
Qaeda. That there's -- that Muslims all over Europe and all over the world
are certainly enemies of Western civilization. Look what the showing of
these cartoons, which I do -- originally thought was a mistake. They
shouldn't have run them. Now, I think we've learned a lot from this. We see
the Muslims' contempt for democracy, for freedom of speech, for freedom of
the press, and particularly, for freedom of religion.
Freedom of religion doesn't mean, just, you have the right to practice your
own religion. It means that you can reject, and criticize, and even insult
other religions if you want to. And that's what's happened. And it doesn't
mean that you have to die or should be threatened or have your hand cut off
or anything like that as a result.
