No.


Beliefs are ideas, and ideas don't get to be respected. Ideas get thrust out into the cold of the public forum with no special protection that those ideas cannot muster on its own merits.
Why?

Why shouldn't we respect others beliefs and opinions even if we believe them to be wrong? What is so special about the truth we believe that we have to poke it in the eyes of people who believe truths we think or even know to be falsehoods?

Everyone who wants to draw Muhammed is absolutely free and entitled to, but it doesn't mean I have to like any of you for disrespecting other cultures because you can.
