According to Reporters without borders a newspaper can write what it wants, even if it insults others.
This is the reaction of their PR to the ongoing and growing anger about published cartoons of Mohammed, as stated in this morning's Metro
That would also mean that it is perfectly okay to write: "Homosexuality is an illness and those people need to be locked up" or "Israel has no right to exist".
I remember a cartoon here in the Netherlands depicting Jesus and the letters to the newspaper, screaming blood and murder for this blasphemy. Now the same people write that Muslims have no sense of humour. But I can place a bet (and make an awful lot of money) that those people will again sream blood and murder the second a cartoon with Jesus in will be placed.
Two-tonged speaking, how I hate this.
Journalism and cartoons are two different things, eventhough I don't believe that unbiased journalism exists. But for me there is a gap between sarcasm and insult and that gap is rather wide.
I also strongly believe that some journalists go too far to get that breaking news.
