So you're saying that the mass immigration of Muslims into Western democracies might not be such a good idea?


But seriously, I saw one of the French Muslim leaders on television saying that people don't have a right to draw such pictures. Such an attitude is completely imcompatible with a free nation, and as long as the work in question is not funded by the state, then people should just accept it as a cost of living in a prosperous free state. The cartoonist will probably require a body guard for the foreseeable future.

This is why i've started to worry more lately about the push to turn the Arab world into western style democracies. The amount of money, time, and effort it'd take to turn these stone age people into modern citizens of the world is beyond what the administration (or anyone else) could have possibly imagined. Best to start doing a better job of exploiting what oil resources we have in this country, come up with new technology, and continuing on on Bush' outlined goal to wean ourselves off of Middle Eastern Oil. Then let these buffoons have that nasty, hot, and sandy region.
