I'm in Danmark. Famous for bacon, open sandwiches, Tivoli and recently, Racism.

Firstly, don't give me any more of that freedom of speech bullshit. It really is crap. Sure! There must be freedom to speak. I mean they were allowed to publish weren't they no one stopped them. But there must also be some self censorship. If noone's going to police free speech then the speakers must take responsibility.

Does this give Muslims the right to burn embassys all over the world? Of course Not! But i'd be on their side defending them. I'd say that the Danish had it coming. They knew that the result of their actions would be a full all out reaction like this. I say they knew full well but did it anyway. Just like any other teenage kid on the planet.

And now, when the muslims who are not stoning or burning eembassies being to burn flags, make placards and other th to demonstrate on the streets. Who's playing the freedom of speech card for them? Instead its not a matter of freedom of speech on their behalf. Apparantly muslims can't plead the freedom of speech, thats a sole right of the west. When they speak out loud and clear, they are "overreacting".

Which brings me to the last point. Who is to say that they are overreacting anyway? They are a religion under siege at the moment. There are certain things to say at certain times and certain things not to say. to critcise, No! to MOCK a religion under siege at this point of time is to provoke a response from a people under a siege mentality. No one criticised USA for invading Afghanistan (but Iraq is another story). For fear of terrorism, USA is lso under a siege mentality. But who's going to call "freedom of speech" when someone cries bomb at an airport. Maybe its time we understand and empatise with the muslim community during their time of need.
