Klinton hates Free speech
I thought Freedom of Speech was paramount to this **********.
WTF?!
Former US president Bill Clinton on Friday condemned the publication of Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) caricatures by European newspapers and urged countries concerned to convict the publishers.

That does really suck. I can understand asking people to stop printing this type of cartoon for the good of the world (be the bigger person, and realize to stop the riots you can just not incite the nut jobs into a frenzy). But saying it should be outlawed is really dumb.
Sorry it took me so long Vibe, my ten foot pole was buried all weekend.

It's all good I just got here too. I don't think it would be fair to even ask them to discontinue print. If you cave to one group of morons, you have to do it for all. Plus it just makes you look like a pusy. You cannot give in to these people(not the word I would've chosen) it just motivates them and adds to the "paper tiger" theory.

I suppose. It's like avoiding the bully in the halls as school though. I mean...how many times would it have been justified for you to beat someone's ***, but you knew the trouble a fight would start wasn't worth it; same thing. Is having a funny cartoon printed worth these fanatic goons killing and rioting all over the globe? Hell no...and even if they're in the wrong, the publishers do have the power to not cause this type of thing. It sucks, but so do most responsibilities.

So we should change our ideals because they choose to live in the 7th century? Guess what, were not dropping leaflets with the cartoon in thier ****hole countries, they are coming to the west and expect us to change. If you don't like freedom, get the **** out of the west.
