If publishing the Mohammed depictions is OK, then why not
holocaust denials?

People get thrown in jail in Western nations for denying the holocaust.
Isn't that an attack on free speech/freedom of the press?

1. Of course it violates free speech. We should condemn those laws also.
As you point out, it also makes the west seem hypocritical.

3. So is it OK to say anything about any race or religion, in your opinion?
There should be no hatred laws at all?

2. Those laws violate common sense. Unreal that someone can
believe something that affects no one else and they go to jail.
