We, the undersigned, unequivocally condemn the threats of death and bombings by Islamists to limit, censor and silence any critique of Islam.
Criticism of religion - any religion - including caricaturing religious figures, however offensive, are integral components of unconditional freedom of expression, secularism, and the separation of religion's intervention in the public sphere.
These are rights fought for and gained by the enlightenment and progressive social movements.
We must not allow anyone or any movement to erode these fundamental rights and values.
All states are duty-bound to:
* Condemn threats made by religious groups and movements to limit, censor and silence free speech
* Unconditionally defend free speech and the separation of religion's intervention in people's lives
*Immediately prosecute all those issuing threats against persons and places, e.g. threats to kill, or carry out suicide bombings.

- I greatly regret and dislike the type of visual scorn contained in the offending cartoons and think logic and reasoned argument preferable to make one's point, but freedom of expression short of violence must be protected and that includes pictorial statements.

- Freedom of expression is what can not be victim for stupidity of a few terrorism and their supporter in Western governments. Just Why because they are so damd afraid people of the third world would come up to the levele of uropian and american countries and would demand better living standard. You damed Capitalist world should go to hell people in the thirld world countries need also freedom of expresseion so that they can get rid of their all Tyrany and come to new world which exsist in uropian and western countries.
