Missing the point

Reader comment on item: Something Rotten in Denmark?
in response to reader comment: about the jyllands-Posten cartoons

Submitted by Andy (United States), Jan 30, 2006 at 17:23

The point being missed here is that this Cartoon was published by a newspaper. Protest against the paper, don't take it out on an entire country. Freedom of the Press allows a paper to express its opinion, even if that opinion is offensive or otherwise unpopular. Why must the hatred always be directed against the western nations??
