WE KID OURSELVES WHEN WE CLAIM TO STAND FOR FREE SPEECH
Violence works: For decades Black thugs have attacked and burned any college newspaper that printed things "they didn't like." For the last five years Muslims have successfully broken up speeches on college campuses, demanded and received special graduation ceremonies or privileges, and have infiltrated the faculties of most major universities. As anyone can see from news reports, the Muslim violence has forced countries to censor speech, to arrest people who say bad things, and will clearly force Europe to "put a lid" on what is published when it comes to Muslims. So how about us? The cowardly and disgraceful response to the riots by the Bush Administration coupled with the near complete silence by the American (?) Left indicates that we are cowed once again, afraid to stand up for freedom of speech when it is risky to do so.
We lost our balls long before Europe and we set the example for Europe to follow.

Plus, Muslims are victims with soft precious tender feelings, whoa-o-o-o feel-ings.
"Nobody has the right to insult Islam and hurt the feelings of Muslims."
