Using cartoon controversy as a precedent, this paper describes the
urgency to address the clash between the two cultural fault lines;
freedom of expression, and freedom of religion (religious
sensitivity). This paper also covers relevant literature on the outset
of freedom in the social contract theory. This research applies
critical method to understand the clash between freedom of
expression and freedom of religion as a clash of civilization. It then
notes the political and religious effects of this clash on the Western
and the Islamic civilization. Lastly, this paper attempts to find the
limits to free speech and ways to implement them. In response to
this last point, the paper found that laws similar to the prohibition
of anti-Semitism should be formulated and implemented. However;
it is pointed out that such a law would not protect or promote
Islamic values but prevent a deadly clash between the West and
Islam.
