Ping

The instant that any ideology is considered off-limits for critical examination and even ridicule, freedom of speech is dead.

Quick...someone tell President Bush.

PING the State Dept, and EUrabian left too!

The idea of blasphemy as a capital offense is not an invention of “Islamists” or “Wahhabis,” but is deeply rooted within traditional Islam

There I was starting to believe the "only the wahhabis are bad" mantra that some even here on FReep have been saying...

The cartoons can’t be taken back. Our only options are to defend the principles upon which our civilization is based, or to surrender.

Surrendering to islamic sharia ideology is not an option, unless that is, you consider slavery a virtue.

"Millions for defense, not a penny for tribute!"

Hopefully, that may ring a bell to some.

For those who don't get it, google "Barbary Wars"
