#2 I thought this was going to be about the 20 year campaign against freedom of speech in the Islamic world. Turns out, its about the campaign against freedom of speech in Europe.
Maybe there isn't any difference.

#3 It's a campaign against free speech in the entire West, not only in Europe!

The resolutions against "Defamation of Religion" are demanding the repeal of the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution just as much as they are demanding the repeal of similar guarantees in other countries.

Liberated Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as NATO ally Turkey voted in favor of these resolutions. The OIC has officially rejected even the doctrine of "Peaceful Coexistence".
Its diplomatic posture is thus actually more hostile than that of the USSR post Stalin.

Given that a South Park episode was actually censored, and that the US press largely refrained from printing the motoons, it sure looks like islamofascist intimidation has made a difference in the US too.

#4 Get in line Abdul. It's a long one. We've outlasted/destroyed much stronger and competent ideologies than islam.

All totalitarian, and most not so totalitarian, ideologies suppress criticism. Kings, Queens, Sheiks, French Revolutionaries, Commies, Fascists, Socialists and Michael Jackson Wannabes all controlled speech, including in the US. The First Amendment really was/is revolutionary. What other society allows the common man to mouth off to the high and powerful?

#5 WAFF > IIRC THE INABILITY TO PRESENT ISLAM AS A PEACEFUL RELIGION IS A GREAT COLLECTIVE FAILURE OF GLOBAL MUSLIM/ISLAMIC COMMUNITIES ["Political Islam" is now an OPPRESSOR of dedicated mainstream Muslims, and no longer a PROTECTOR/DEFENDER of same]???

* PAKISTANI DEFENSE FORUM > THE GREAT GAME IN PAKISTAN: TALIBAN VERSUS TALIBAN; + 1500 SIKH FAMILIES LEAVE AFTER PAKISTANI TALIBAN DEMAND PAYMENT OF "JIZIA" SPECIAL TAX??? The "jizia" was only a mere US$38.0-50.0MILYUHN RSD = minima US$20,000 and above; + ARMED MILITANTS [forcibly]OCCUPY SIKH HOMES IN PAKISTAN.
