Freedom of expression or NeoCon agenda?

Cartoons are a purposeful provocation argues that there was a hidden NeoCon agenda behind the publications of the Muhammed cartoons. AlterNet argues that such 'free speech' is to be desired.

Jurist Bernard Freamon writes: " ... section 266b of the Danish Penal Code ... authorizes criminal prosecution and conviction of any person 'who publicly or with the intention of dissemination to a wide circle of people makes a statement or imparts other information threatening, insulting or degrading a group of persons on account of their race, color, national or ethnic origin, belief or sexual orientation'." Yet no one was prosecuted.

Merza A Beg writes: "The right wing Jyllands-Posten of Denmark egregiously with the intent to offend published the cartoons."
