European societies have finally shown their true racist colors. It seems, all of the sudden, that the laws governing what you can and cannot say about Israel, Judaism, and the Holocaust are conveniently forgotten or do not apply in parallel to Muslims.
We have priests getting their sexual fill from little boys, yet we don't see or find it acceptable to caricature Jesus doing the same, neither in Europe or in Islamic countries, where prophets are all held in high esteem.
If I drew your mom's image in a Catherine-the-great style with a horse, you'd be very rightfully offended. Now imagine I did that for a person most Muslims hold more dear than their parents.
What the Europeans are doing is nothing short of hate speech, uncalled-for incitement, and stereotyping at its worst.
When you are that hypocritical, outlawing discussions of the Holocaust and punishing anyone who dares to speak against Israel on the one hand, while claiming that you have the right to offend the symbol of a whole faith in a very low manner, you deserve to be punished, if for nothing else, at least for your outright stupidity and irresponsibility.
