...have had many conversations with Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims about the cartoons. The issue of freedom of speech is not well understood by them, but the reasoning behind their outrage does not lack merit. Westerners can claim that we are totally free to print or write anything we wish. That people are offended is assumed to be less important than the right to express oneself in a free society.
