As far as I am aware, EuroNews is the only channel seen widely in the UK which has shown the Muhammed cartoons during newscasts.
For those who haven't seem the cartoons here is a site which has them all .

There's no reason why any channel should censor them.

You'd think that if you were going to publish cartoons that were without a doubt going to cause massive offence and be hugely controversial you'd at least make sure they were funny!

They are pretty childish and stereotypical aren't they?

Euronews doesn't agree with their content (at least I hope not) but is showing them because they are the subject of the story.

Fox New Channel (I know they're American, but it's still shown here) showed it briefly on O'Reilly.

I can't believe that the British press are censoring these cartoons.

The muslims are not helping themselves in the slightest by creating such a furore about this issue.

Muslims are continually alienating themselves in societies to which they've encroached themselves into all around the world, and if they cannot take a joke, then they should seriously re-evaluate their own teachings of tolerance and peace.

I heard on the radio a few minutes ago that around forty muslim protesters turned up outside the BBC last night because a cartoon was shown for a few seconds on television. Absolutely ridiculous that they should protest. The muslim faith has gone way down in my estimations. How dare them.

As an athiest, I could claim that I'm 'offended' by their continual preachings and hypocritical stances - but I wouldn't dare. I would be hauled in front of a judge and jury charged with incitement to racial hatred.

I don't hate muslims, but I strongly dislike them and their and their pathetically hypocritical religon.

I agree with you. It is once again fear of the political correctness police with their sirens and flashing lights (no particular colour specified in case they offend part of the 'colder' spectrum).

Now if this was taking the urine out of a Chrisitan religion, there would be no problem, everybody would be laughing and happily getting on with their lives.

But becuase Islam is a minority in Europe, the PCP force are out in numbers.

The Europeans, therefore, are actually being racist AGAINST themselves. It happens in Britian too, where it is perfectly acceptable to call a white man a boring old sod, but if you said this to a black man you would be slaughtered.

When will people realise that you can joke about religion without being offensive? The vast majority of Muslims will not be offended by this cartoon.

If anybody from television or wherever is reading this PLEASE STOP CENSORNG THIS CARTOON, YOU FOOL.

yeah because Christian demonstrators wouldn't stand outside TVC burning their licence fee documents or anything stupid like that would they?

Did you see that hideous man Stephen Green on Newsnight last night - his argument appeared to be that Muslims can be offended but Jerry Springer the Opera should not have been shown because it offends Christians? The reason? Christians don't blow themselves up on the tube!

Go atheism!
