BBC: Reporting Religion
This week Reporting Religion takes an in-depth look at the aftermath of the Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
A specially invited panel considers why the depiction of the Prophet is so offensive. What means are there for protest and dissent within Islam? The secular west prizes its hard-won right to freedom of speech so has this left it unable to understand the nature of religious offence? Is there a point beyond which freedom of speech cannot go?
The panellists include Irshad Manji, Fellow at Yale University and author of "the Trouble with Islam"; writer and academic Malise Ruthven and Adjmal Masroor an Imam and member of the Islamic Society of Britain.
Also taking part in the programme is the British philosopher Professor A. C. Grayling.
