Just wanted to make clear the Vol & I are on the side of freedom, hence: http://thevolabroad.blogspot.com/2006/02/vil-i-disagree-with-what-you-say-but-i.html BTW the Islamonazis* and their "Death to Free Speech" etc placards have really crossed the line on this one. Now I'm angry. *I think it was former CIA director George Tenet on the John Stewart show who made a convincing case that the term "Islamofascists" is unfair and insulting to actual Fascists... :twisted: I hate those cut-off comments.

People have had enough. There have certainly been calls for prosecution of those inciting violence. BTW - I was near the Danish Embassy today, by chance, and snapped a few pics. Wanted to get closer, but smarter heads prevailed. I'm not sure I would have liked it too much if I'd seen something the suicide belt stunt. Funny that the Met's happy to shoot Brazilian electricians, but when it comes to what just might be a real threat they show restraint. We left as more cops were arriving. I didn't see any signs or banners like the ones on display Friday. Well, the tide on the street is turning, I think. People have had enough.

I'll revisit it today. That didn't sound like you, I didn't think. We don't agree on a whole lot, but we certainly share the same ideas on freedom of expression.

If that's the case, my bad and thanks for the clarification. You don't have to add anything on my account. The whole idea that a public figure being charged criminally for a comment while nutballs put on fake suicide belts to protest outside of Denmark's Embassy in England <b><a href="http://www.theconservativevoice.com/article/12104.html" rel="nofollow">and don't get charged</a></b> is simply beyond the pale. That's the whole "inciting the violence". Don’t worry about it VA. If that’s the case, my bad and thanks for the clarification. You don’t have to add anything on my account.

By the way, a Vol-friend visiting from California happened to see some of the protests in London. Very scary. The police did everything they could to protect the rights of those holding signs which said "Behead those who insult Islam" when offended passers by tried to wrench such signs out of their hands. err.. that previous comment was to Smantix.

NO NO NO WE WERE NOT APPLAUDING THE criminal prosecution of the BNP leader Nick Griffin for saying Islam is a wicked religion. He has EVERY right to say that. (However, Nick Griffin is a nasty piece of work). Read again. It is a FREAKING TRAVESTY of JUSTICE for him to be prosecuted!! The only speech that should ever ever even considered for curtailment is direct incitement to violence or kiddie porn (and there's quite a bit of stuff I'd prefer to be sold on a shelf out of reach of children). The BNP guys themselves don't support free speech, but I and my husband (who wrote the post) actually support THEIR right to free speech and EVERYONE else's. If that post wasn't clear we'll make it clearer. (BTW - I know you commented on the post - but that comment has now disappeared - along with all the other comments and my posts from yesterday. I'll try to restore it ) WOAH, woah –back up the truck. NO NO NO WE WERE NOT APPLAUDING THE criminal prosecution of the BNP leader Nick Griffin for saying Islam is a wicked religion.

If the bastards had any balls they would try such a protest here. They ain't seen nothing yet. I can get them being upset about relgious indifferences. But when you burn down buildings in the name of religion, you have crossed the line with most Americans. Screw fear. If the bastards had any balls they would try such a protest here.
