"All the more sad then that the Vatican has followed the British Foreign Secretary in appeasing the critics of the publication of the cartoons."
Bah.
Does Britain leave other european nations, that defend the freedom of speech, alone, because it wants to appease Islam -> because it wants to keep the foolish illusion of Turkey beeing acceptable to become member of the EU, or that EU is not becoming too strong a political player by that membership? Or do they want to appease probably hostile reactions towards their troops in Iraq in advance? I find the official British reaction to this mess irritating at least, if not shameful.
The vatican'S reaction does not surprise me at all. It still wants to be in bed with Islam. Hallelujah.
