YES I got this from LGF but I like what this guy has to say.
Ezra Levant is being persecuted by the "Canadian Human Rights Commission" for publishing the all so terrible Mohamed cartoons. I'm surprised there aren't riots in Canada as week speak.

In the second video in this series, Levant answers a bizarre Kafkaesque question from his inquisitor:

And the third video deals with the real source of violence:

It's a three part series but I really like what this guy has to say. Worth a listen.

I don't think it's quite that. I think it's a representation on how an organization can get hijacked (pun intended) and the original purpose can get skewed.
I listened to all three videos and I really like what the guy had to say regardless of what he writes or his political leanings.

No idea what people think when insulting other religions? Do they get a hard-on or do they think their own god is pleased?
Or do they just want to make money ?
I'd be quite pissed if I'd see a comic where an roman is ass-raping Jesus but it seems insulting religions is OK

The guy did great, I look forward to hearing what happens. Thanks for posting the vids!

It's about time someone in North America did it..Kudo's!!
This should be an interesting battle between freedom of the press and clerical bullying..
As we speak,there no doubt is a movement on Islamic web sites and a death squad in the works.People will die and a surprising number of people will sympathize with an executuion or two.
I bet not one politician backs up our democratic right of freedom of the press.
Islamic run counties are failed states..they are not allowed to criticize their government so they export the violence elsewhere.
And the same people who hide behind the "hate speach" laws will see no threat of prosecution for threatening the deaths of these publishers.

as a pagan i think the whole thing is much ado about nothing, the muslims are against idolatry, even a drawing of their prophet muhammad is blasphemy, the christians on the other hand embrace idolatry, see all the statues and icons they have.
It would be better if they stopped worrying about things that don't matter and tried to work together for a more prosperous world and a better life for everyone instead of killing for stupid reasons.
But what do i know.
Peace is the dream of the wise, war is the history of man.

**** working together. But if you want, you can compromise with the Muslims about the complete subversion of women, personal rights and free speech.
I'm actually quite interested in what the middle ground between freedom and Islam is.

There's a religious group in England pulling the same sort of stunt. Some folks are freeer than others.

People need to stand up for their rights.

Ok I'll take the bait even though you seem like a troll.
There's a huge difference between insulting one's religion and being perpetually offended about everything to the point were the supposed offenders are actually oppressed.
There's actually a blogger on trial in England for "hate crimes" because he was allegedly offending islam by criticising it.
One man's free speech is another's offense.
Islamofascist isn't just a neocon term dreamed up by the right wing to line halliburton's pockets. They actually exist.

But i bet you wouldn't get an overwhelming and compelling urge to slit the comic's throat in the parking lot afterwards..That's the difference between Islam and other religions.
Insulting someone's religion or faith is not a hate crime or racsist.Judism or Islam is a belief,not a race(though the aformentioned would probably disagree...which is a BIG problem)
Race is entirely based on DNA..not theology.
Challenging one's faith in God..or say the Seattle Seahawks is the same thing...and we are giving this freedom up without a fight.

Acutally I beg to differ.
You are referring to the Roman Catholics. They are a Pagan religion masquerading as Christians. If you don't get what you want praying to God, send off a few to the Virgin Mary and the Saints for good measure..:rofl
A good Protestant Church will only have a bare cross, no images or statues to be glorified, idolised and worshipped.

Yup,
Im a Southern Baptist, and we have just the Cross.

Quite possibly,but..
Where is there a country run by organized radical Christians bent on killing abortion doctors?

care to back up your statement with a link or some facts. I haven't heard of any "bombings" in the name of christ in quite a while.
I do recall more than a few years ago a few abortion clinics being bombed but they were usually performed by fringe groups and the churches themselves disavowed the acts.....unlike islam.

Well, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Liberation_Front_of_Tripura
About 11,000 people dead so far over the past few years, much of it to bombing.

Do you really think that's comparable to the current discussion?
Recent investigations, as well as confessions from surrendered members, have revealed that the NLFT have been making and selling pornography to finance their activities. This includes DVDs of pornographic films made by the group with tribal men and women kidnapped and forced to participate in sex acts while being filmed. The movies are dubbed into various languages and sold illegally throughout the region for a profit. The women have also been sexually abused by NLFT members [6]
I hardly think these people are Christian nore supported by them world wide. This is like saying the stupid Westboro Baptist Church is mainstream.
I love how these discussions always turn to comparing Christians to Islamofascist. Something that's mainstream in one religion to a fringe in another.
Apples and oranges.
EDIT: Not to mention this is more about Free Speech and less religion.

Pay no attention to the troll. Anyone who feels the need to hide behind multiple layers of anonymity either has no conviction in what they claim or is a coward. Either way, why waste time giving them any consideration?

So, I provided a link describing a group that bombs in the name of christ per your request. Not sure how that's not related...

But they aren't bombing birth control clinics as stated above. They are a fringe group fighting (through terror) for independence......not getting outraged because someone drew some pictures of chirst.
Again apples and oranges.
Edit: It also seems this group has not been very active in the last 7 years. I wouldn't call them "recent"

I remember hearing about him vaguely, but I'm not sure of his popularity in general. Luckily he is so obviously in the right here, only the most passionate of PC thinkers could disagree with his position.

Don't evaluate the group by the extremists, unless the extremism (by our standards) are their norms.
Clinic bombing is carried out by wacko extremists....period.
One analogy I can't stand is when they find some toothless, uneducated hillbilly to defend gun owner's rights.....all gun owners become judged on the moron. You never see one of the millions of professionals (doctors, lawyers, engineers) interviewed in such a case.
