This can only end up being more worse, personally i think the whole damn issue of free speech has got out of hand...i think you lot have made your point....further printing or provocation of this matter will only make things worse imho.

If it were moderate opinion then perhaps further printing wouldn't be neccessary - but what we have here is a battle of wills - extremists have threatened us on the basis of our opinion. Our opinion is our own, they should have no control. Muslims should have input to our opinion, but what has ringed loudest so far has been threats. Because of this, it is imperative for both Western society and non-extremist Muslims (because extremists need to control moderates as well) to promote uninhibited free speech, regardless of any threat.

Those that would surrender their freedoms for security, do not deserve the freedoms in the first place. Selah.

But the description of the cleric you quoted is not the same individual as I referred to in my post.
