To preserve the freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is important, even if billions are offended. Those billions can also use their own free speech to complain, moan, and cry about other peoples free speech, but never silence them. A popular petition on this website states that "Labeling these acts as freedom of speech is similar to labeling murder as freedom of expression!" Which is not only an obnoxious, uneducated statement, it's childish. Also, literally incorrect. Using freedom of speech that could offend someone is ALL speech. Anything can offend someone else. Murdering someone involves ending someones life, and has nothing to do with any kind of speech or expression at all. If you can't handle someone offending your prophet, you can't handle freedom.
