Not quite, imam. Freedom of expression does include the right to insult others - and be stupid - but not violent or destructive. Apparently, that point is lost on muslim immigrants because Denmark is burning (again). From the Gates of Vienna:
The violence is also being billed as a response to the republication of the Motoons over the last few days, but the first cars were burning before the death-plot against Kurt Westergaard was publicly revealed and the plotters were arrested. But when PET foiled the murder of Kurt Westergaard and almost all newspapers re-printed the ‘turban bomb’ cartoon, they changed their motives to ‘insults to our dear prophet, Mohammad (pbuh)’.Speculation is that the bitter cold weather will dampen the rioting 'yutes'. Arabs slow down considerably in cold weather....
