A friend (living in Danemarkk for five years) told me that Danemark is basically the same  as Spain.. and another one living in US and Norway told met hat nothing compared to racism you can see in Spain...in Norway there is more than in the US, he claimed, but nothing like Spain.

So, it is a deep world perception difference. I indeed think that the same cartoon written against jews or catholics would be banned, actually I think self-censorship would have worked...but not in the case of muslims..they are the minority and the one object of constant ridicule and racism. This is why admire the british newspapers...the always ask what would I have done if instead of a muslim it would have been a jew or a anglican?...and they go from there...This is my philosophy.

So happy to disagree...

A pleasure
