ELI5:Why are obscene pictures of Muhammad being praised?

I bet a million bucks, if the cartoonists drew pictures of racism it would've been a whole other story.

If the cartoonists were killed by christians it would've been considered an "act of violence", but just because the killers were muslim extremist, reddit went batshit over it and started to post obscene photos and drawings because of their "freedom of speech".

Let's face reality here, free speech was never a thing, if it was, it's dead, if reddit's excuse to these drawings is freedom of speech then right now ill have someone draw extremely racist pictures and start calling it freedom of speech and if anyone starts hating on the cartoonist for it, ill tell him to tell them to shut their mouths up with permanent glue.

And to be honest, muslims are sick and tired of being constantly bashed, no one seems to bash christians or jews as much as they bash muslims and just plain offend them, then the same people who were bashing muslims to oblivion start talking about how they hate people who judge others, and the media responsible for all of this, the media is brainwashing people to believe that all muslims are terrorists regarding of what other people say.

In my opinion, like anything else, freedom of speech has consequences, and sometimes they can be hard, no matter how many people support it, if you do anything, ANYTHING, know that there are consequences that will eventually happen, it only takes a matter of time before things take the turn to the worse.

Im still against these attacks, ISIS are ready to kill anyone to reach their goals, they will kill muslims as well, they dont care about anyone, they just wanna spread hate to spark a war that they will benefit from, they werent avenging the prophet, because the prophet was physically harmed and was drawn and was almost killed several times, and the muslims didnt go and kill those who bullied and harmed the prophet.

Sadly these terrorist groups are whats sparking all of this hate towards muslims, and muslims hate ISIS as much as anyone else if not more.
