Re: On Free Speech
The lesson to be learned is respect, dignity and courtesy take a back seat to free speech from some people.
​
Well, yes. That's what it means to be an adult - recognizing that "freedom" means people are going to be free to do things that offend, disrespect, or even shock you.

same as I view these riots against the cartoons to be a revelation of the same barbarity that is at the heart of Mohammedanism.
​
You're pretty clearly mistaken about this.
​
The cartoons were printed in Egyptian newspapers, front page, back in august. Nobody rioted then.
​
The riots are the work of rabble-rousers stirring up decent people. Islam is a religion with a considerably more prominent martial theme than Christianity, but it's present in Christianity too, and I don't think the difference is great enough to suggest "barbarity" at the heart of anything.
