Do they really have the right to print them, though? When does freedom of the press become libel? I mean, it's a public document, so you can't make false claims about a person. How does a prophet differ?

not having seen all of the cartoons, I can't say that they are making false claims. I what I do know is this a newspaper shouldn't be legally barred from printting somthing soley because it would offend a religious group. Freedom of the press a is very important right and it can't and shouldn't be limited just because a paper might offend someone. It can be argued that the moment we limit somthing like freedom of the press, is the moment we are no longer free. But again that doesn't mean that the papers should have printed them. The papers should have used more common sense.
