Mobs of enraged Muslims have rioted from Morocco to Indonesia and burned Danish and Norwegian embassies. Editors of other European newspapers that ran the offensive cartoons piously insist they were defending free speech. But free speech does not include the right to scream "fire" in a crowded movie theatre. And that's just what the European newspapers did. They were trying to boost circulation and pander to anti-immigrant right wingers by attacking Islam.

It doesn't whip up anti-Muslim hatred any more than cartoons mocking Christianity whip up anti-Christian hatred. Legitimate political criticism is nowhere near the same thing as screaming "fire" in a crowded theatre.Obviously this guy doesn't understand the concept of freedom of speech. The whole point is not to protect speech that you like, but rather to protect speech you don't like. Otherwise who determines what is or isn't acceptable to be printed? The fact that a supposed journalist can't grasp that is a little sad.

So whats your point?That is what makes this so funny how all of a sudden Muslims are so concerned with religious tolerance. When the hell have they ever shown any tolerance towards others?
