Brownshirts and the freedom of speech

A nice little picture from London regarding the Muhammed pictures that have been published. placards say "be prepared for the real holocaust", "fuck freedom", "butcher those who mock islam", And these people have a right to say these things - the very right they are trying to deny others with the threat of violence!
Let's take a moment to look at the events these passed few weeks.
A book is to be written in Denmark about Mohammed and Islam, however apparently no one in Denmark wishes to illustrate the book, fears of radical islam prevents them. A Danish newspaper decides to show that such fear has nothing to do in a civilized society, they publish 12 drawings of Mohammed in their paper. Radical muslims get furious and start threatening to kill Danish people, bomb their homes and demand that the Danish goverment(?) tells the newspaper to apologize. Freedom of the press is an unknown concept for them. After this primitive reaction several newspapers followed up and reprinted the cartoons and I applaude that. It is imperative that we do not fold and give up our freedoms in the threat of violence, freedoms must be defended or we can just give them up. Swedish press has conceded, tail between their legs they maintain there are no reasons to reprint the pictures, I say there are all the reasons in the world to reprint them. We must stand up for our freedom of speech, freedom of press and our freedom of religion.
We must stand united in this and show that the threat of violence can never be accepted in our society. When it comes to caricatures the newspapers in Middle East are full of anti semitic cartoons, the double standard is obvious, and what has this proven?
“The protests in the Middle East have proven that the cartoonist was right,” said Tarek Fatah, a director of the Muslim Canadian Congress. “It's falling straight into that trap of being depicted as a violent people and proving the point that, yes, we are.” - Globe and Mail
The hypocritical sentiments do not stop here, even while the Arab nations officially protest the publications of these pictures their own newspapers publish cartoons as found here and here. I am appalled...
It is time that the Muslim world separates religion and politics, It has been done in Europe with Christianity, when will a Middle Eastern Anti-Mohammed similar to Nietzsches Anti-Christ be published?
"I condemn Christianity; I bring against the Christian church the most terrible of all the accusations that an accuser has ever had in his mouth. It is, to me, the greatest of all imaginable corruptions; it seeks to work the ultimate corruption, the worst possible corruption. The Christian church has left nothing untouched by its depravity; it has turned every value into worthlessness, and every truth into a lie, and every integrity into baseness of soul." - Friedrich Nietzsche, Antichrist
It is time that we all stand up against these fascists that in the name of religion kills people for what they say or what they think, do not let them get away with this, if we do they will learn that violence pays, that they can use it to get their way in the world. It is time to stop this!
