this excellent op-ed by Diana West on the Mohammed Cartoons controversy. A money quote:
These questions may not seem so outlandish if we assess the extent to which encroaching sharia has already changed the Western way. Calling these cartoons "unacceptable," and censoring ourselves "in respect" to Islam brings the West into compliance with a central statute of sharia. As Jyllands-Posten's Flemming Rose has noted, that's not respect, that's submission.
Andrew Sullivan
explains that some Islamic leaders are attempting to blackmail the West.
People keep talking about avoiding conflict. They are in denial. The conflict is already here. It is outrageous to be informed by a crowd of hundreds of thousands that the West must give up its freedoms in order to avoid violence.
Redstate wonders if the Europeans are finally waking up to the fact that the crocodile in their midst is going to eat them
first, not
last.
