Off to New Zealand...
@ 2006-02-04 - 19:44:47...tomorrow, so I may not be updating this blog as frequently as usual. A word on the Mohammed cartoons before I go. Whilst I think that some of the cartoons were gratuitous, I have been even more concerned by the demonstrations against the cartoons. Many have been violent and the one in London yesterday was clearly led by people who support terrorism. Freedom of speech sometimes means the freedom to offend, and I do despair of the prospects for intergration of muslims in the west if so much offence is caused by the mere graphical representation of a historical figure.

lets hope these people are just a minority
of course the muslim leaders will be apologising for their musguided angry friends
yes and i also think the papers were slightly misguided too but they never threatened to kill anyone though...
bet most of them were british citizens anyway
what a dilemma huh?
