Suppose an image of Mohammed exists somewhere in the world. Does this mean that muslims will perpetually be angry? If I hide one of these caricatures in the forest will they riot until it is found?

Is it the idea of an image existing that annoys muslims, or the fact that one does? If it's the latter then they are condemned to be angry for ever, as there is no way to know if all such images have been destroyed. If the former: what is the sense in being offended by an idea?

Yet more attacks by religious zealots on freedom of speech. Yet more attacks on the right not to have another person's religion dictate what you personally can and cannot do.

Until everyone in the world stands up and says "I don't want to insult Islam, but Muslims DO NOT have the right to silence non-Muslims' right to choose what they want to say, show, do and think"-until everyone who loves freedom is seen holding up a picture of Mohammed (so that everyone is involved in stopping this Thought Fascism), the terrorists will continue to accomplish their goals and even more.

If you can't show a picture of Mohammed, you can't also "insult" Mohammed. Soon, you can't even "talk disrespectfully" about Mohammed (and who decides what's "disrespectful?" You? No, them, of course!) If we keep surrendering to the demands of a bunch of crazed fanatics, where will their demands ever stop? Halaal-only food? Covering girls' heads on public transportation? People don't quite realize that this is very slippery slope, and the West (and its media) seem ready and willing to by and large capitulate to the terrorists' demands...
