Calling facebook a utility is silly. Utilities are services which require the building of infrastructure, with few or no alternatives, and often which are granted a government monopoly for building said infrastructure.

Facebook is a website to post some crap on. There are thousands of such sites, they weren't granted a monopoly, and they didn't build infrastructure.

I'm all for freedom of speech, and I think that the picture of Mohammad day is a celebration of that, and not wrong (do not liken making fun of crazy people to racism, it's not the same thing, and the draw Mohammad day event is specifically a protest against violent reprisals towards those who expressed their freedom of speech). However, Facebook is not a public forum, it's not government property, and it's not a utility. It is a privately owned website, and they can remove whatever they damn well please.

I only affirmed that Facebook is utility-like, not an actual monopoly or utility; likewise, that their action is unethical, not illegal.

Unethical according to whose ethical system? Yours? Mine? Zuckerberg's? There is no ethical system that people universally agree on. And the fact that a third party fails to satisfy the requirements of your ethical system doesn't strike me as a problem.
