A look at the recent Muslim led protests against the showing of a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad at the Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire.

Examining what freedom of religion and freedom of expression mean and why I believe we should be able to criticise and satirise religion (and pretty much any other topic) without the threat of death from religious extremists.

Do I think the school is right to apologise or suspend the teacher in question?

Should the teacher be fired? He is currently suspended and facing an inquiry.

Should this teacher face criminal charges, as some Muslim leaders have called for?

Are there blasphemy laws in the UK? It seems so to me.
