The law should not prevent people from saying anything as long as it doesn't do actual harm. Sure, the Danish cartoonist may have been a jerk and personally I think he should've thought a little before drawing Muhammad as a suicide bomber, but that is his right. And guess who else has those same rights? All Muslims in nations where free speech is allowed. Instead of making death threats, Muslims could've have written editorials defending Muhammad, or they could've drawn their own cartoons to counteract the Danish one.
