My point, made with hyperbole is there is not free speach in the US, or for that matter, anywhere else. There are things you can say anywhere which will land you in hot water and when you piss off the powers that be, the only thing your constitution for is toilet paper. If you think otherwise you are nieave in the extreme.

Read the fucking article, it says quite clearly she was fined because her comments were offensive to muslims.

Wolf, that's not a shocking article but it's not wonderful either, in the end radicalism, which is be neo-nazi groups in Russia or fundie islamics in the ghettos of paris is caused by one thing - poverty and powerlessness, remove that, problem goes away, it's not that fucking hard people.

Oh and for the wankers who have harped on since fucking 9/11 about how islam and democartic governments can't exist, do some reasearch (yes, much harder than just wanking out another column off the top of your head I know) in hizbollah, that friendly bunch and their role in the democratic government in Lebanon.

Christ I'm in a shite mood today.
