Sir, – I wish to reply to Paul Williams’s comment (September 17th) that there are no “red lines” when it comes to satire or ridicule, no matter how badly it is done.
Would the Jewish people like others to make fun of their prophet Moses or their sacred book, the Torah? Of course not! Would the Christians like to see a cartoon effigy of Jesus on the cross or people making fun of the Holy Bible? Of course not!
Similarly, the Muslims do not like their prophet Muhammad being exposed to mockery or ridicule or disrespect shown toward their Holy Koran.
Yes, there is very much a red line you do not cross. David Cameron’s “off button” solution will not solve the problem. People have to learn to respect each other’s beliefs. It’s as simple as that. – Yours, etc,
