Re: The right to blasphemy (none / 0)
Errrhhh, Migeru. It was like, errhh ... sarcasm :>
This affair has been spun of whole cloth by Akkari and Laban because they felt "ignored". Boo hoo hoo, poor little imams. No one in Denmark gives a shit about them. So they went on a tour to whip their coreligionists in a frenzy and hand over a ready-to-use "controversy" for Mid-Eastern governments to placate their own fundies. And now, you're telling me this is Ramussen's mess? Are you kidding me?

I can't remember the last time the Saudi embassy in Paris or Copenhagen was sieged because of an antisemitic cartoon in a Saudi newspaper. Can you?

Ramussen was 100% correct to tell those countries' ambassadors to fuck off.

A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
