As the tirade of the fanatical Islamist comment above me (it may have been removed) shows there is an intolerance by Muslims and Islamic majority governments to freedom of the press. Now Muslim and Muslim countries seek to force (the UN, suing, protests, or terrorism) other governments to scale back freedoms. This includes freedom of the press. Who defines what is offensive? So can Christians get the writings of Neitche banned because he says God is dead? Of course not.
Charlie Rose has an imbalanced panel here that promotes peoples sensitivities above peoples freedoms. This is liberal wishy wash at it's most hypocritical.
The market place of ideas need all ideas included in whatever way they are introduced freely so that a person is as informed as possible and reject or accept those ideas or creations.
This is a pluralistic world and Muslims must accept this is if they want to live in the West or deal with the international community.
