[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New protests in Pakistan now

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2911717/Hang-cartoonists-Pakistani-Muslims-demand-death-sentence-Charlie-Hebdo-staff.html

Pakistani Muslims today called for the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists to be hanged for drawing the Prophet Mohammed on its latest front cover.

As worldwide protests continued for a second day, nearly 300 people from a religious group rallied in the eastern city of Lahore, carrying placards saying 'Down with Charlie Hebdo'.

One banner read: '[b]Making blasphemy cartoon of the Prophet is the worst act of terrorism.[/b] The sketch-makers must be hanged immediately.'

Cartoonist Renald Luzier, who drew the image, had argued earlier this week that there should be no exceptions to freedom of expression.
Meanwhile funerals for four of his colleagues - the victims of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris last week - were held in France today. 
The Lahore rally came as Pakistani lawmakers staged their own demonstrations outside parliament after passing a resolution condemning the image of Islam's prophet in the French satirical newspaper.

Meanwhile, Turkey also denounced the prophet cartoons as an 'open provocation'.
'Freedom of the press does not mean freedom to insult,' Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters in Ankara before heading for talks with EU leaders in Brussels.

Apparently, drawing a cartoon of Muhammad is worse than murder to some people....[/quote]

Muslims agrees I bet. [/quote]

That should say Muslima, not Muslims [/quote]
