Re: My two (possibly ignorant) cents...

It is deliberately disrespectful, I agree. Although that is not the be all and end all of course. All newpapers are arguably disrespectful. The problem I find is the large gulf between the 'respect' expected by the ultra-conservative (rabid 'wingers or tribal/fundie Muslims) and the healthy disrespect that is necessary to allow democratic freedoms.

I measure the difference this way:

If someone insults my wife, I might want to hurt them, I might want to turn the other cheek, who knows on the day. But what I won't want to do is hurt their neighbours ot their family or their neighbouring country.

"They want to know whether Muslims are extremists or not. Death to them and to their newspapers,"
