Most European countries, including Holland, have no free speech like in the USA.

You do have freedom of expressing your opinion, but there are rules. Some opinions are just not allowed. Mostly because they are hurting/insulting others.

Does this mean you would be in favour of banning Mohammed cartoons, because they also are insulting to some people.

Come to think of it, both the Bible and Koran contain text that is very offensive to some people. I guess they should be banned too.

I think you are wrong here Drebbel. There are no rules, laws yes.
