#1 This newspaper would not have published the cartoons of Mohammed at the centre of this controversy, images which we regard as vulgar and fatuously insulting.

I'm dissapointed the Telegraph has copped out on this.

#2 Excellent commentary LOTP. The west needs to rise up and laugh as one in the face of these idiots. We should not issue counter-threats, instead we should mock them. Show them up for the infantile, dickless boneheads that they are. The more we laugh, the more they will froth and the clearer the distinction between our societies will become. Hell, maybe even some of them will start to notice that they look like fools.

BTW: a Jordanian editor published one of the cartoons (so that the lumpen proletariat could actually see what they were seething about) and called into question the muslim reaction to them. He asked what harms the image of islam more, some cartoons or repeated instances of suicide bombers killing innocents in the name of allah. The result of his action...he has been put in jail. In know, I know...Ethel, get my pills.

All of this per this morning's Jerusalem Post.

#5 "Democracy has a gun held to its head"

No, "democracy" - if that's what you want to call these craven losers who dhimmi up at the drop of a threat - is holding a gun to its own head. >:-(

#6 "Everyone is in favour of free speech," remarked Churchill. "Hardly a day passes without its being extolled. But some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like - but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage."

Remind anyone of our native leftists declaring any disapproval of their bleating to be "censorship"?

#9 Nimble Spemble: I tried unsuccessfully to access The Sun's Page 2. For reasons not clear my browser freezes on Page 3. Not that that's a bad thing.

#10 The Radicals care only that we're alive, NOT dead, and NOT making concessions to them or appeasing them by "justifying" Islam" for them, at our time and our costs and with no explanation from them for anything. We must unilaterally and unconditionally "learn" their merits andor surreal superiority, in return for demanding to accept being slaughtered by them no matter what we "learned" by their awesome instructional non-instruction. NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.
