Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it --Woodrow Wilson

Salman row

Pakistan joins Iran in threatening the UK after Queen Elisabeth knighted Salman Rushdie. If there ever was a brave soul deserving a knighting it is Rushdie. I would say that Rushdie really put the attention on the issue of freedom of speech not only in the Middle East but also for Europe.

I really hope that explitives like:
"If someone commits suicide bombing to protect the honour of the Prophet Muhammad, his act is justified,"


is properly handled and that the EU along with all european union members foreign ministers send a clear message to ul-Haq and Iran that the position of Iran and Pakistan is unacceptable and that any and all suicide attacks on any U member nation will be considered a hostile act by these two countries and they will be held accountable.
