You obviously don't understand satire when you keep saying insulting and stuff like that.

Call it whatever the hell you want...satire when used to insult a religion (and not just fanatics like ISIS but all Muslims) is wrong. If I decided to write a article with glowing praise for Hitler and Stalin and insist that it should be published by all major newspapers would I be wrong or not ? I can't just walk around naked in a city and claim that it is my way of expressing myself...I would get arrested because such behavior would be inappropriate and offensive to people. Perhaps it is time we review what this free speech nonsense is all about.

Would you consider them cowards when they refuse to print really offensive cartoons on Hindu gods? And you can imagine how ridiculous they can be.

The highest grossing film in India. You can hear people in the theatre laughing too.

Go ahead and do it.

They are just jealous, that's what I tell myself.

Satire, let me know where it talks about insulting, I just skimmed through it but need to get some sleep.

So artists should make a special note for not hurting muslim sentiments for their own life? Fair point.

Artists should do their job instead of hurting the sentiments of people. Artists have become political tools. There is already enough war, famine and other misfortunes in our world. Let's not ignite it and start another major war.

This message is what you conveyed above.

Btw, are you an artist? Because if you are not, it makes no sense to dictate to artists what they should do or should not.

A war over cartoons? Hilarious. Only indicates an insecure faith.

For the sake of argument, I'm an artist. Want to see my art?

We will not make a war over cartoons but the cartoons could be used as an excuse to wage war on us...if this stupidity and childishness continues the terrs will make sure that making cartoons as a profession dies out.

Aren't you the ones threatening with expelling every single Muslim from every single Western country? Of course, you're the leaders of those Western nations. No pun intended. Who is insecure here? You expect things to be normal after such a drastic move? You must be living in lala land.

The cartoons are not an excuse, the actions of the terrorists most certainly could be. There are still ongoing attacks in Paris, what better do you expect?

The artists have been caricaturing all religions, it is not some hypothetical muslims vs RoW Armageddon some people imagine it to be. If they shut shop to save their own hide, well, terrorists win.

I thought Indian secular & liberal media would show solidarity with their brethren & publish Charlie Hebdo cartoons to uphold free speech & freedom of expression!

You seem to have quoted the wrong guy, I don't fit any of the points you mentioned.
