This is one issue I'm 100% consistent on. I believe in unregulated free speech up to the point of inciting violence. I don't care if it is Christians or Muslims; blacks or whites;Nazis, socialists or anarchists. Let them have their say even if, perhaps especially if, it is offensive and perverse. Better it be out in the light of day.
I wonder how many those right wingers who got their knickers in a twist over the Danish cartoon controversy will be at the front of the queue to defend free speech in the Muslim world in this case. Surely Noam Chomsky deserves the right to speak and publish as much Danish cartoonist do.
They'd best hurry up as I'm holding my breath!
