What's bitten some Parisian newspapers publishing cartoons of Muhammad given the controversy (weak word used) induced in Denmark?
While it is perfectly legitimate to defend the press freedom, it was useless to add and pour oil on fire. Given intolerance and obscurantism proved (confirmed again) this behavior is irresponsible.

The very existence of religions shows the limits of human intelligence.
Amazing to see that we can do wars "in the name of God".
And the "Got mit uns", "God on our side," make me laugh ... yellow.
What can we see? Intolerance towards the other, retrograde thoughts when it is not just barbarism or obscurantism.
It is clear that for many people religion is a moral comfort but to impose on others its own religious precepts is tyrannical.
For my part, religion avoids arising question because one gives the answer : God.
Any state should be secular. A state religion should not even exist. Moreover, every human being should be free to choose his belief.
What I find most unbearable is the fact that parents impose a religion from birth to their children. Where is the choice?
