CARTOONS OFFENSIVE TO MUSLIMS

Re: “Muslim leaders urge restraint over offensive cartoons”, Feb. 4
It appears that freedom of speech and expression should only go so far for some area Muslims, “Muslim leaders urge restraint over offensive cartoons”, Feb. 4.
In our culture, we may vehemently disagree with someone’s ideas but we will defend his or her right to express them.
I think some Americans need to become more sensitive to what offends others especially people of different cultures. On the other hand, Muslim Americans need to realize that freedom of speech and expression is a right that cannot be constrained to please any one group of people.
