A petition of support for Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen and the Danish people who have shown tremendous resolve in their defense of basic human rights, the freedom of speech. Despite acts of violence by those, predominantly in the Muslim world, who would censor newspapers for publishing a series of caricatures, the right of free expression must be preserved for all. Please show your support for freedom of expression by signing the petition below which will be presented to the Danish Prime Minister.

Background Information:

On September 30, 2005, Denmark's largest newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons depicting the prophet Mohammed as part of an ongoing Danish debate about freedom of speech. The publication of the cartoons led 11 ambassadors to demand that the Danish government take legal action against Jyllands-Posten for offending Muslims all over the world. The Danish government refused to take any legal action, pointing to the freedom of speech guaranteed by the Danish constitution.

In late December 2005, the Arab League criticized the Danish government's position, which led to widespread media attention and a boycott of Danish products throughout the Muslim world in January. Several Muslim governments called on Denmark to issue an official apology and angry mobs burned Danish flags and pictures of the Danish Prime Minister. The Danish government still refuses to apologize on behalf of an independent news organization such as Jyllands-Posten, and newspapers in France and Germany have shown their sympathy with Jyllands-Posten by reprinting the cartoons in recent days.

Free Speech is a human right. It should be STRICTLY enforced. Prosecuting free speech is inhuman. I support this petition 100%. David Cohen Levy Barunstein: The holocaust wasn't about Christianity at all. It was Hitler. It was the Nazis, who weren't even HUMAN!!! Besides, the Jewish killed Jesus. I must ask, while hoping not to offend anyone: Do the Jewish always hate people, holding a grudge over everyone who is not Jewish? Are the Jewish so intolerant that they won't even talk to anyone before they yell at them for no reason whatsoever? I understand never forgiving the Nazis, but now even just being Nazi is probably still prosecuted to this date (even though that violates human rights to free speech and free religion), and they're most likely gone completely. My stepfather is basically a nazi, though, because he persecutes me for being a nerd and not looking like him and he believes he is god and he tries to convert me. I know the pain. He insults my entire family and if I interrupt his insult torrent he grounds me and my mother is too afraid of him to do anything, yet then she says to let her handle it. She starts fighting with him and backs off in less than two seconds. I understand what it's like. I will never forgive him. I will follow him to the ends of the earth until he dies of lung cancer from his constant smoking, and I will spit on his grave until I am dehydrated. then, when I'm hydrated again, I will proceed with spitting on his grave and repeat for probably 20 years. Although you most likely feel more hurt than that, I know basically how you feel. You are in pain, you want revenge. I know that feeling.
