Some worry portrayals may be disrespectful. They may well be.
That is an unfortunate consequence.
I don't think we as a society want to accede to these kind of threats and forfeit our free speech little by little.
I would also add that as I understand it, from the initial cartoon controversy years ago, that not all believers of Islam believe that it is disrespectful in itself to portray an image of the prophet Mohammed.
