Unacceptable

The publication of caricatures of Prophet Mohammad in Danish, Norwegian, French, and German newspapers is condemnable. Hurting the sentiments of a community in the name of freedom of expression is unacceptable. One person's liberty ends where another's nose begins. I hope the European Governments apologise to Muslims the world over.

Satbir Singh Bedi,

Our freedom of expression does not include the freedom to hurt others. We have the freedom to move our hands but that does not permit us to strike someone in the face.
