There comes a time when the requiresments of politeness deman that you not shit on your neighbour's face and demand they not object because of your right to free expression.

For the most part this is not an exercise in free speech but a deliberate and calculated insult to the deepest sensitivities of our fellow citixens. Can I shout "fire" in a crowded theate as a joke? Could I drag apig's head through a synagog? Can I draw yellow stars of David on Jewish owned shops? Can I demand the right to daub swastikas on the gates of Auswitz?

Can I interpret the Trinity by stating that Jesus fucked his own mother? Can I publish a comic strip of Jesus descending from the cross to rape a baby and shout in lust "Suffer little children" and deliver copies to the Vatican and every convent and monastary in the EU?

Why should you be so arrogant as to demand free expression of our opinions when you denegrate the objections of those these insult? If a newspaper in the north of Europe demads the right to print something that is then used by a French newspaper to incite violence against  Muslims (and indeed, because of the degree of insult, commit violence against Muslims in France) WHY do you object when there are demonstrations by those who feel insult? Do you deny them the right to express their opinions? How dare you deny them the right to boycot Danish goods in protecst at a government policy decision (now reversed) not to speak to Ambassadors? Why do I object to that? Because by denying them that right you would have denied me the right not to buy South African fruit during the Apartheid regime.

Yes there have been isolated incidents of actual violence against Europeans. Thankfully that was a few, rather less one must add than the equally few attacks on dark=skinned residents of Britain and I suspect Spain after the bomb attacks.
