Free Speech has Its Limits

Fire of Liberty

I'd say that if more radical Islamists like cleric Abu Hamza were arrested and prosecuted for promoting young Muslim radicals to join in the jihad with fellow terrorists in al Qaeda or encourage them to strap bombs on their chests and go out and to kill all Jews, Christians, non-Muslims as well as Muslims who fail to follow his radical brand of Islam, then the folks in Europe and the rest of the world would be better off. This just goes to show you that with these most recent outbursts of violence with regard to the cartoons and the acts on behalf of Hamza that free speech in a liberal democracy has its limits and when you go too far you are held accountable for your actions. Maybe this is a lesson that we can all learn, especially the newly arrived immigrants to the West.
