Please re-read my comment.

My point is that WESTERN DEMOCRACIES have the principle of freedom of speech. These complaining Muslims live in Canada, not in the USSR, or the PRC. And they are living in the 21st Century, not 5,000 years ago.

They can't make others shut up just because they don't like what is being said.
