I saw it as right-wing, quasi-fascist xenophobes making a big show of standing up for freedom of speech by mocking a religious minority that they want to kick out of Europe. They have a right to publish those cartoons. I view them the same way as I'd view an anti-Semite who published cartoons with stereotypical, negative portrayals of Jews, while advocating for kicking Jews out of Europe. I'd hold my nose and believe in their right to free speech, but I wouldn't lionize them.
