First, let me commend you on your efforts to promote freedom of speech. In your quest to test how far this freedom would stretch, you have trampled on others freedom to practice, and be PROUD of their religion.
As editors, you do carry the responsibility of advancing peoples respectful views. You do not have the right to insult and ridicule a religion, a way of life, a belief.
You, through your publication, showed your belief in the freedom of speech of your press. You also attempted to suppress the Muslims worlds belief for freedom of holding their Prophet in high regard.
Freedom of speech is a medium of peaceful exchange of ideas, thoughts, and beliefs. It is not a medium for promoting violence or suppression of values. By insisting on publishing these caricatures, you are stretching the limits of this freedom to the very extreme, if not even stepping a long way over them.
The world today is in no need for more violence; it is in no need for more hate and anger. Your publication simply put up the green flag for threats, aggression, and resentment. Do not be another reason for people to have more terror and violence in their lives.
With this, we denounce all calls for violence against either newspaper or nation.
With this, we make our stand as believers of freedom of speech.
With this, we tell you that we are proud Muslims that do NOT believe in your perspective of freedom of speech.
With this, we demand an apology.

- I wish I knew what good did the editor get in publishing those pictures? He doesn't even promote the cause for freedom of speech, rather he has jeopardized and undermined the very cause that many many writers and journalists have fought for over the years to establish.

- What people need to understand about freedom of speech is that it is supposed to liberate you; in this case, it is not freedom of speech; rather it is libel and slander. Freedom of speech should not be disrespectful; we can all voice our views in a civil manner without trespassing on the beliefs of others.
