Religious Tolerance?

This guy makes a compelling argument about the Danish cartoon controversy and the consequent fallout among followers of, as he calls it, a religion of peace. Freedom of expression taken too far, maybe. Overreaction, most definitely. How would we react if The Prophet was depicted in like manner? I can tell you for certain there would not be riots, burning, destruction and death in the Salt Lake Valley. Quite the opposite. Aside from a PR statement denouncing any such depiction, from a religion of peace, 'turn the other cheek' would be the end result if such slander should befall the Saints.
Thoughts?
