Where There Is Fire...

The politically gruff Mark Steyn throws his hat into the Fitna ring. He has pretty much said it all.

I have no idea why some discussions even occur. Time and again, certain elements prove their fear of any freedom, especially freedom of discourse, by bullying people into submission. Yet, there are those who are comfortable with this. Youtube, the BBC, and other publications are more than willing to blot out anything critical of Islam (or the Chinese dictatorship) for fear it will impede dialogue. How? There is no dialogue. We can't even bring it up. We are to be cowed by thick-browed bullies. These things only serve to prove that those who criticise are utterly correct.
And in that, there is no argument.

Yes we must not criticise Islam and point out that it is a violent religion that kills anyone who criticises it---OR --the violent muslims will kill you for criticising their religion.

You couldn't make this stuff up!

Yes, it seems there is no winning here.
If the truth is on one's side, then there is nothing to fear from criticism, legitimate or otherwise. I would consider opposition to wilful destruction and murder legitimate criticism.
