In Tariq Ramadan’s At the crossroad of Islam, the West I agree with his claim about how citizens should exercise their right to freedom of expression responsibly and take into account the diverse sensitivities that compose societies today. I have never seen the political cartoon Ramadan is referring to however, from what I can tell the Muslim’s have a right to feel disrespected. A political cartoon is made to draw attention to a current political or social issue. A political cartoon should not be derogatory or disrespectful in any way. Using a cartoon to insult or offend a culture, race, or society is an improper use of freedom of expression. It is okay for a person to express their feelings on a pressing issue in government or politics; every person is entitled to their own opinion in that aspect. I understand a person may argue that every person has their own feelings about a race, society, etc. However, using a political cartoon to demean a group of people is inconsiderate and disrespectful. A person cannot be held accountable for their race, religion, or culture. Therefore, demeaning or disrespecting a person’s race religion or cultural is unacceptable because there are numerous beliefs throughout the world
