“It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar” - Henry David Thoreau
To call these riots infantile and imbecilic is to give them a dignity they don’t deserve. They can only be described as Islamic….
All week we’ve heard Muslims telling we in the West that that we need to understand how important the prophet is to them. We do understand, and we don’t care.

Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.
paraphrased from Lord Vetinari
"I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."

Couldn’t have put it better myself.
He’s being way over optimistic though. Our Rulers are also Appeasers and misunderstanders (despite all the evidence) about the true nature of Islam.
Until that “Offensive words and behaviour” clause is excised from the Public Order Act in the UK, then we are all vunerable to being fucked around for any damn thing at all. We don’t have a First Amendment like the USA you see (and America’s State Dept doesn’t think they should have one either… See Cats earlier Post)
I won’t be holding my breath for that one either. It is too fuckin useful to our Jackboot Elite, in every possible way for suppressing us.
Pat Condell for PM!
Pat Condell is utterly awesome.
RAB.
Don’t agree. There has been a sea change.
People are pissed off and are responding with anger. Whereas before people were confused and prepared to believe some of the drivel we were fed I don’t think the mood is conducive to appeasement any more.
It is not just the people who have some understanding of Islam this time, it is everyone else as well. Pat has hit the nail on the head with this one.
When I stop seeing articles like this…

And the writers stop pouring out fatuous Strawmen, then I’ll believe there has been a seachange, and that the meaning of “Freedom of Speech” is properly understood by one and all, and most especially by our Rulers. Meanwhile…
Oh sure, but these people are losing the rest. They are a trailing indicator, and some will never change.
