Draw Mohammed Day': Bold affirmation of free speech or malicious attack on Islam?

"When you attack black people, they call it racism. When you attack Jewish people, they call it anti-semetism. When you attack women, they call it sexism. When you attack homosexuality, they call it intolerance. When you attack your country, they call it treason. When you attack a religious sect, they call it hate speech. But when you attack the Prophet (peace be upon him), they want to call it freedom of speech? The message is clear, freedom of speech has to be constructive not destructive, encouraging not discouraging, peaceful not hateful and most of all it should bind people not divide them...For me any insult against any religion or religious figure or Holy scripture is sheer ignorance and not freedom of speech!"
