Annalex - "The fact that Islam is a false religion that foments much evil has nothing to do with it either. A mark of a civilization is its ability to protect the minorities against insults and properly regulate public speech."

Islam is not a religion; it is a death cult. These cartoons are the famous charicatures that are causing anti-Western riots in the Arab world, and fueling Arab demands for Western censorship. It is unbelievable that the West is prepared to subordinate its freedom to demands for restrictions that are similar to the ones imposed by Europe's late, unlamented absolute monarchs.

Weakness and appeasement begat terror.

No, abrogating one's civilization begets terror. I am not concerned about Islam, I am concerned about the western values. They took a dive with these cartoons.

Censoring them is exactly what a civilized society whould be doing.
