Mr Tolerant,
Just imagine the fuss in the west if the same paper had printed anti-jewish
material...
|
And if so, so what? Isn’t anyone’s right to make “a fuss”? Unless of course
by fuss you mean burn and murder....
The interesting question now is for countries who have freedom of speech
(such as Germany), but yet have laws making it illegal to print pro-Nazi and
anti-holocaust material.

Are you sure about the latter? ;)

Will they reprint the cartoons? Suddenly free
speech is not so free. There is a contradiction there. This is why I always
say that freedom must be coupled with responsibility, or it soon devolves,
however incrementally, into governmental censorship.
