Now my own country (Canada) is moving to restrict freedom of speech as much as they can in this case.

That's what you get for electing the conservatives.

Well I didn't vote for them. Someone else must have, though.

The cartoons were published here in magazines, newspapers and some TV channels displayed them too, many cowered, but there wasn't a single protest or riot (including overseas targetting), why? Because the Muslims are not organized over here, they are too few and their Imman is incompetent, so it seems.

It's entirely different where the Muslims have an agenda, it's not about the random John Doe Muslim getting offended by the cartoons, it's about the Muslim leadership manouvering the John Doe Muslim masses, they have one thing in mind, cartoon or no cartoon, that's a tiny part of the story, and if there's no cartoon, they'll find another reason to keep moving, as was seen in Pakistan. Due to the lack of Danish, Scandinavian and even European targets, the protesters shouted their primary cliché instead: DEATH TO AMERICA! And burned American targets.

This time we saw their global level of organization, which just proves how dangerous Muslim authorities can be.

Definitely not "here" at subsim, but there, where? everywhere?! The list of nations that hosted displays of the cartoon is much larger than the minimalist Europe-America combo that has been targetted in the Islamic world.

@ TteFAboB:
Sorry, I mean: from (or about) which country are you speaking when you say "here"?

When I say here I speak of Brazil. But I've seen them published in Argentina and Chile too. There's, roughly, at least a million Muslims "here". Where's the 300 Muslim protest like the one from Amsterdam?

@ Happy Times:
This certainly is an impressive interview...

Can you give any more info about the source? What is CN8 for a kind of broadcasting organisation? Are they trustworthy?

An indian ministre (!) called for the murder of the authoir of the cartoons: 11 million dollars bounty. The association of Pakistani goldsmith placed a bounty of 1 million dollar for the murdering of the author.
Why only twelve million? Allah's sympathy is cheap to buy, it seems. Praise to him. Not everyone would be able to afford a more expensive religion.
http://www.welt.de/data/2006/02/18/848455.html

Christian children and a priest beeing slaughtered in Nigeria. One man burned alive while being stuck inside a tire. For the fame of Allah, of course. May peace be with him, and the rest of the blabla-blessings as well.
http://www.welt.de/data/2006/02/19/848473.html

The West is in need of more tolerance, in order to still respect this wonderful religion, it seems.

Good quote. Mind if I take it as a sig? I must admit, I do not like to read Thomas Mann.

Im still waiting for western Muslims to hold remembrance ceremonies for those slaughtered children, or Muslims protesting against the violence with as much enthusiasm, endurance and energy as they use to display when protesting against a five months-old cartoon.

Maybe I expect too much.
