See Michelle Malkin's round-up of the Cartoon War - now becoming the "War on Freedom of Speech". If some of these come to fruision, these will be dark days in the world.

"The Malaysian government shut down on Thursday a local newspaper after it published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed..."
"Yemeni paper closed, editor wanted for publishing cartoons"
"The South African Freedom of Expression Institute says a judgment by the Johannesburg High Court which prevents the publishing of cartoons found offensive by the Muslim community is a major threat to press freedom."
"Editor-in-chief of popular Ukrainian newspaper "Today" apologizes before Muslims for publishing cartoons, satirizing Prophet Muhammad"
"Editor of Polish newspaper apologizes for reprinting cartoons"
"The Cadre, UPEI's student newspaper has published the twelve infamous editorial cartoons that criticized aspects of Islam.
"At the request of president Wade MacLauchlan, university administrators have removed all 2,000 copies of the paper from campus.
The campus police also showed up at the office of Ray Keating, the paper's editor, and asked that he hand over any copies in his possession, a request he refused to comply with."

The interview with Ayaan Hirsi Ali is excellent. Obviously a woman who knows what it's like to live under Islam rule. I'm not surprised at the reactions of some of the countries submitting to Islamic demands. The Europeon reaction, with Denmark being the exception, has been slowly evolving to this point over the years. We've seen them being submissive recently when we tried to get a coalition for the Gulf War. Europe is now at the point where they want 'peace at any cost'. That cost is now becoming quite high yet many are willing to allow some of thier freedoms to be eroded in the name of a false peace. It is a double standard. Islamic papers can print what they will, vilifying Jews, America and Christians. And not a peep out of the west. But let Islam become the target of the freedom of the press, the Europeans and others like Malaysia and SA are quick to cowtow. Freedom of the press in this country is so ingrained Geoff, that I don't think we will see that freedom restricted
