Does Europe have a double standard for Islam?

Cites examples of recent episodes in Denmark and Holland, where potential double standard exists for humorists poking fun at Islam.

Most think of Europe as an emerging stronghold of secularism and tolerance.  Yet, reparations made by governments seem to indicate otherwise.   WSJ article shares story of Dutch cartoonist, Gregorius Nekschot, arrested at his apartment in Amsterdam after being “suspected of sketching offensive drawings of Muslims.” 

Whatever happened to freedom of speech?

Reminds me of similar scenarios in the states, from “Piss Christ”, featuring a crucifix in urine, to “The Holy Virgin Mary”, featuring Mary covered in elephant dung.  Yet, we didn’t arrest these artists. 

Do you think a double standard exists? 

It seem the creators of South Park TV show constantly poke fun at Christian figures (Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ), yet when they feature Muhammad, their own network censors the show.
