Hate speech laws shouldn't exist. Period.

But I find it rather enlightening that generally no violence comes when Jews or Christians are mocked, but draw a cartoon of islam's pedophile "prophet", and there's death threats from all over...

LOL I was tempted to sketch out a cartoon of that pedophile after the South Park mess to put on my blog (but I'm no artist).

What a big boy! All religions make nonsensical claims. One of those in Islam is that it is somehow defiling the religion to produce images of god or the prophet. This is simply a rebelling against the practice of icon worship. Why should it be a big deal to you...

Because they threaten to kill others over it (and indeed have killed).

This drives you to an insatiable desire to insult the beliefs of all Muslims? There are some 1.5 billion of them, you know, and the vast majority have never even thought to kill anyone for anything. Just as the vast majority of all Christians has never thought to bomb a clinic or kill an abortion doctor.
