Free speech is one thing but good editorial decision making on what to print is another -- you guys really went off on Dan Rather for poor editorial decision making but you just can't accept that those cartoons of Mohammed had one purpose only -- to inflame the racism against muslims.

Dan Rather was a journalist...and expected to be unbiased.
Political Cartoonists are not required to be unbiased.
That difference seems obvious to me. Your comparison is inaccurate.

Another of the cartoons I especially liked was the one showing Jews going on a conveyor belt into a death machine of the holocaust and on the other side of the machine Israeli tanks coming out. It gives you something to think about and argue about.

Like what? It is
completely predictable. Nothing clever about it.

Also I agree whole-heartedly with the comparison of the cartoon making fun of Mohammed and the cartoon denying the holocaust -- there is a double standard, at least as far as Europe is concerned.

Really? How many riots have Europeans initiated over these cartoons?
Please point out the double standard for me.
As oppressive as European views are, they are still light years ahead of the mid-east.
