And Muslim (extremists?), killed 30 people in response, and resulted in a fatwa against Terry Jones.

Artistic demonstration against the west, is (nearly) a right.

Artistic expression against Muslims, is (nearly) a death sentence.

It's a false equivalency to compare our (White Christian) nutjobs to their (Islam) nutjobs.

And yet you made your argument with a false equivalence. The street in Lebanon (Hamra Street) that was depicted as a hotbed of terrorist activity is a cosmopolitan, liberal road.

In case you can't see the issue: the series treats all Arabs and Muslims as dangerous terrorists willing to kill any "infidel" at the drop of a hat. And yet that is because of extremists, which exist everywhere - like, for example, Terry Jones.

It's false to say that EVERY Muslim will kill someone who criticises their religion.

I see the issue, and I understand what the artists gripes are. They're valid.

I'm simply pointing out that subversive demonstration is a basic right under many standard western doctrines.

It certainly is not under many interpretations of Islam.

This is all generalized of course, as there are people in the US who believe US Flag Burning should be illegal, and Muslims artists that are against strict interpretations of Sharia law.
