it's was a really difficult arguement for me, that whole cartoon thing, for freedom of expression and press is something that democracy NEEDS to survive, but at the same time, the cartoon controvosy gave bigots all over a great chance to trumpet and put their own hateful messages out.
and especially when it comes to Islam and hate speech....NO side of the fight has clean hands |
The clean hands quote is particularly ironic in today's circumstances. I would suggest that one side has remarkably clean hands . The other side promotes hatred, bigotry, death to all of other beliefs, the annihilation of Jews, and in some cases, christians. In many cases they are no longer minorities of any consequence, so their demands become louder.The old name of the game was Danegeld. I must stop at this point before my patience is exhausted.
