Concrete and Clay

So it would seem that its OK for some European newspapers to publish cartoons of Islam's Holy Prophet in, what they call, an exercise of free speech. 

I wonder what would happen if they published cartoons about, say,the Holocaust, in the same, denigrating way?  Would Jews be OK with that?

Its also quite confusing to note that the same Western countries that are condemning the cartoons, are also the biggest advocates of freedom of expression and coincidentally, the same countries slaughtering hundreds of thousands of Muslims.

I haven't seen the cartoons.  The papers here seem more interested in investigating latent and blatant homosexuality among politicians and footballers.
