Comparing the systematic killing of 6 million Jews to insulting religious cartoons to validate creating a silly law?

Gadhafi rules Libya with an iron hand, and security forces take tough measures to contain information unfavorable to the regime.
The demonstrations in Benghazi had been widely seen as instigated by an Italian minister, who wore a T-shirt featuring one of the caricatures while appearing on Italian television. The reforms minister, Roberto Calderoli, has since resigned.
In Indonesia, police arrested a member of a hard-line Muslim group for allegedly participating in a violent protest at the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, an official said.
Some 400 members of the Islam Defenders Front threw rocks and broke windows at the embassy over the weekend, claiming the U.S. government masterminded the publication of the cartoons in a bid to discredit Islam.
The drawings were largely published by European media outlets. They offend Muslims because Islamic tradition is interpreted to bar drawings of Muhammad to discourage idolatry.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said Tuesday the cartoons were an attempt to cause a "clash of civilization" by people who are ignorant about Islam and want to demonize the religion.
"We cannot condone such insensitivities toward our beliefs and condemn it in the strongest way," he said at an Islamic conference in Pakistan.
Aziz later met with Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, secretary-general of the 57-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference.
Ihsanoglu said the cartoon controversy showed that Muslims need the same kind of legal safeguards that protect Jewish people in European countries. He noted the case of British historian David Irving, who was sentenced Monday to three years in prison in Austria for denying the Holocaust — a crime in that country.

"We need the same protection from European law," he said.

I keep hearing this and it simply is not true. The riots and burnings and murders are not because the prophet was depicted but rather because he was depicted in a somewhat unfavorable way. This goes a bit beyond simple fear that mohammad had a cartoon likeness run in a paper. I mean lets get real here
